In Palm Beach, Perception Is Value
West Palm Beach isn’t just a jet market — it’s a luxury brand ecosystem.
From seasonal residents to high-net-worth business travelers, presentation drives perception. And in private aviation, the first impression isn’t made at the FBO — it’s made online.
Bad images don’t just underperform — they actively undermine credibility, reduce perceived value, and push serious clients toward better-looking options.
Why Local Talent Doesn’t Cut It — Even in Palm Beach
South Florida is full of photographers — real estate, fashion, even yachts.
But jets aren’t penthouses or product sets. Aircraft interiors are a discipline of their own.
The challenge?
- Highly reflective finishes
- Mixed-source LED lighting
- Tight cabin constraints
- Premium materials that demand accurate representation
- High-end clients with zero tolerance for “just OK”
If your photographer doesn’t specialize in jets, you’re paying to devalue your aircraft.
What Cutting Corners Really Costs
Here’s what I consistently see from local generalists trying their best — and still missing the mark:
❌ Color contamination — leather tones, wood finishes, and fabrics look wrong
❌ No or poor color correction — mixed lighting left untreated
❌ Ceiling strip light chaos — uneven colors, harsh brightness
❌ Distorted geometry — bowed lines, leaning cabins, bad proportions
❌ Incorrect camera height — lav shots and tight spaces feel claustrophobic
❌ Lens issues — distortion that kills any sense of luxury
❌ Weak visual narrative — no story, no flow, no mood
And the truth is: they don’t know what they don’t know.
But your buyer will.

Frequently Asked Questions – Aircraft Photographer in West Palm Beach
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
Travel costs are billed at direct cost — no markup, no surprises.
