In a Market Built on Lifestyle and Luxury, Your Aircraft Photos Need to Sell Both.
Palm Springs and Coachella Valley are destinations built on prestige, privacy, and presentation — and your aircraft imagery needs to reflect that.
Whether you’re marketing a Global 7500 for seasonal charter, showcasing a BBJ for sale, or updating FBO marketing before festival season, your images don’t just need to look good — they need to sell the luxury experience.
Why Local Isn’t Always Enough
Sure, you’ll find photographers in the Coachella Valley. But very few understand what it takes to:
❌ Light reflective interiors with mixed lighting sources
❌ Manage cabin geometry in tight Gulfstream or Falcon spaces
❌ Remove LED color casts and color-correct complex finishes
❌ Compose images that sell an aspirational lifestyle, not just a plane
This isn’t real estate. It’s not a wedding shoot.
It’s multi-million-dollar brand positioning — and that’s what I specialize in.

Frequently Asked Questions – Aircraft Photographer in Palm Springs
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 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.
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.
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.
What types of aircraft do you shoot?
Everything from single engine to turboprops, light jets to BBJs. I’ve photographed Globals, Gulfstreams, a few Boeing 7 series, Falcons, Citations, Airbus, Cessna’s, and more. You know, if it flies, I’m on it. And if I haven’t shot it, I want to. Call me.
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
Travel costs are billed at direct cost — no markup, no surprises.
