In Nashville, Luxury Flies Private
Nashville may be known for music, but it’s also home to a booming private aviation market — with touring artists, business owners, and high-net-worth flyers expecting nothing less than premium.
When you’re marketing a jet, you’re not just listing specs — you’re selling luxury, privacy, and trust. And the first impression isn’t made on the ramp — it’s made online.
Bad visuals? They make your operation look amateur.
Great visuals? They build credibility, drive inquiries, and position your aircraft as best-in-class.
Why Local Photographers Don’t Translate to Jet Work
Tennessee has no shortage of great photographers — weddings, real estate, even commercial. But jets aren’t venues or living rooms.
Aircraft interiors bring unique challenges that generalists simply aren’t trained to handle:
- Highly reflective finishes
- Complex, mixed-source lighting
- Tight cabin spaces
- Luxury materials that must read correctly and consistently
If your photographer doesn’t specialize in aviation, they’re learning on your aircraft — and damaging its perceived value in the process.
What Cutting Corners Really Costs
These are the most common issues I see from “good enough” local photographers:
❌ Color contamination — beige leather turns yellow, wood finishes look plastic
❌ Poor lighting correction — LED strips fight each other, shadows distract
❌ Bowed lines, tilted geometry — no spatial accuracy
❌ Claustrophobic camera angles — especially in lavatories and galleys
❌ Distorted lenses — wide, stretched, and not luxurious
❌ No storytelling — just snapshots, not a persuasive narrative
When a jet doesn’t look premium, it doesn’t sell like one.
Who I Am — And Why I’m Called In
I’m Dave Koch, an award-winning aircraft photographer with more than 20 years of experience capturing:
- Private jets for resale — Gulfstreams, Falcons, Globals
- Charter fleets across the U.S.
- Refitted aircraft interiors — galleys, lavatories, seating
- BBJs, ACJs, and large-cabin VVIP jets
- Branded marketing visuals for brokers, FBOs, and management firms
My clients don’t hire me to figure it out.
They bring me in to get it done — fast, clean, and without distraction.

Frequently Asked Questions – Aircraft Photographer in Nashville
Where do you offer aircraft photography services?
I shoot private jets and charter aircraft anywhere in the U.S.
I’m regularly flown into major hubs, private airfields, and FBOs in cities across the country. If you operate in or near a major metro area, there’s a good chance I’ve worked nearby — and I’m equipped to be on-site fast.
Where do you regularly work?
I regularly shoot in:
- Dallas / Fort Worth (DFW, ADS, DAL)
- Los Angeles / SoCal (VNY, BUR, SNA, ONT)
- Miami / South Florida (OPF, MIA, FLL, PBI)
- New York / NJ (TEB, HPN, ISP, MMU)
- Scottsdale / Phoenix (SDL, PHX, IWA)
- Nashville, Las Vegas, Austin, Houston, and more
How soon can you be available?
As these shoots often take me out of town for 2–3 days at a time, I recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance to reserve time and secure the best airfare.
That said, I can fly out with as little as 24 hours’ notice, schedule permitting.
A rush fee applies to bookings made fewer than 5 days in advance.
I fly out of a major U.S. hub and travel frequently for client work — my entire system is built for fast, efficient deployment.
How many images do you deliver per shoot?
Most standard aircraft shoots result in 10–20 fully finished images, depending on aircraft size and your goals.
Larger jets, multi-aircraft fleets, or full FBO and MRO coverage will naturally include more.
If you have specific requests, just let us know — we’ll make sure to deliver exactly what you need.
What’s the typical turnaround time?
You’ll receive proofs within 3–5 business days.
Final edited images are delivered within 2–3 weeks after you approve the proofs.
Need it faster? Rush delivery (within 24–48 hours) is available by request.
Do you offer video or 3D tours?
Yes — I offer both video production and 360° virtual tours on request.
These are perfect for charter marketing, sales listings, or showcasing new refits.
What’s included in your quote?
Each quote is built around your specific needs, but typically includes:
- On-site aircraft photography (interior, exterior, and details)
- Pre-shoot planning (if needed)
- Lighting and travel gear
- Final edited, full-resolution images licensed for your use
Optional: video, 3D tours, staging, rush delivery, or multi-day shoots
