Ready to Capture Your Aircraft Project?
Aircraft photography project planning is the process of defining the aircraft, location, schedule, access requirements, deliverables, usage rights, and business objectives before an aviation photography production begins. Proper planning helps aircraft owners, brokers, charter operators, completion centers, FBOs, MROs, and aviation marketing teams avoid delays, control production scope, and create imagery that supports sales, marketing, documentation, or launch goals.
Dave Koch, founder of AeroMedia Aviation Photography, helps plan aircraft photography projects for private jets, BBJs, ACJs, aircraft completions, charter fleets, aviation facilities, digital twin production, and commercial aviation marketing campaigns worldwide.
Aircraft completion and refurbishment projects routinely represent investments ranging from several million dollars to tens of millions of dollars, making professional documentation essential for marketing, aircraft delivery, media coverage, and long-term archival purposes.
Whether you’re preparing a BBJ for delivery, documenting a newly completed ACJ interior, remarketing a Gulfstream, launching a charter operation, creating a digital twin, or opening a new aviation facility, the right imagery starts with the right production plan.
Every project has different objectives, timelines, access requirements, and deliverables. Our role is to help define the most effective approach based on your aircraft, facility, marketing goals, and schedule.
At a Glance
Aircraft completion photography documents newly completed and refurbished business aircraft for completion centers, MROs, aircraft manufacturers, brokers, and owners. Deliverables typically include marketing photography, delivery documentation, media assets, virtual tours, and long-term image libraries used for aircraft sales and brand marketing.

Who to Call for Aircraft Photography Project Planning
For commercial business aviation projects involving private jets, aircraft interiors, exteriors, completions, charter fleets, FBOs, MROs, or aviation facilities, contact a specialized aviation photographer or aviation production team rather than a general commercial photographer.
AeroMedia Aviation Photography plans and executes aircraft photography projects for brokers, owners, charter operators, completion centers, FBOs, MROs, OEMs, and aviation marketing teams worldwide. Projects may include still photography, video, drone coordination, Matterport digital twins, interior staging, exterior ramp photography, and complete marketing asset libraries.
Planning begins long before cameras come out. Coordinating aircraft availability, ramp access, lighting conditions, crew schedules, weather, and final deliverables often determines the success of the production more than the photography itself.

Why Clients Hire AeroMedia
AeroMedia combines aviation experience with a visual approach built specifically for high-value aircraft and aviation facilities.
Clients hire us because we understand the operational realities of aircraft access, scheduling, staging, and presentation. We know how to work around completions, deliveries, refurbishments, charter operations, and confidential transactions while creating imagery that looks polished, accurate, and commercially useful.
From BBJ and ACJ interiors to aircraft remarketing campaigns, aviation facilities, digital twins, and aerospace development programs, every project is designed around the client’s business objectives—not simply the creation of photographs.
Recent projects have included aircraft completion programs, charter marketing campaigns, VIP aircraft remarketing assignments, head-of-state aircraft documentation, Matterport digital twin production, and launch imagery for emerging aerospace companies including Electra and Otto Aviation.

How We Plan The Project
Every assignment starts with the same core questions: what aircraft is involved, what the end goal is, who the images are for, and how the final assets will be used.
From there, we build the right production approach around the aircraft, access requirements, schedule, and deliverables. Some projects are simple and fast. Others require coordination with brokers, completion centers, flight departments, security personnel, owner representatives, or OEM teams.
The result is a production plan that fits the aircraft, the timeline, and the intended use of the imagery.
What We Need From You
- Aircraft or facility type
- Your vision for the project
- Project location
- Target schedule or deadline
- Project goals
- Intended usage
- Required deliverables
- Access or staging requirements
- Confidentiality or NDA requirements
- Travel or coordination notes
The more we understand about the project, the faster we can recommend the right production approach and provide an accurate proposal.
