Charlotte is a Business Aviation Hub — Your Photography Should Reflect That
North Carolina is a growing force in corporate aviation — and Charlotte leads the way.
Whether you’re listing a Global for resale, staging a charter fleet, or capturing a new hangar for your FBO, your images need to reflect value, trust, and professionalism.
Photography isn’t just about documentation. It’s about persuasion, positioning, and performance.
What Cutting Corners Really Costs
Charlotte has excellent photographers — but jets are a different world.
Lighting a cabin isn’t like lighting a luxury home. Managing reflections, tight spaces, and high-gloss finishes requires a specialist — or you risk:
❌ Distorted cabin geometry
❌ Washed-out lighting and glare
❌ Wrong lenses that misrepresent scale
❌ Off-color LED strips and poor tone balance
❌ Amateurish staging and weak narrative
I come prepared to shoot like your aircraft is worth what it’s really worth — because it is.

Frequently Asked Questions – Aircraft Photographer in Charlotte
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.
