Many private and business aircraft are often leased or fractionally owned. During their downtimes for primary customers they are often used in a charter or air taxi role. These private aircraft customers want to know the specific jet they're getting, and having high quality interior and exterior photographs are essential to communicating what you have to offer. Having someone take quick snapshots with a pocket camera will not do a multimillion dollar aircraft justice. Commissioning a professional with the expertise and equipment to make your jet or prop look its best will pay for itself many times over with new and renewed business. Regardless of the size and trim of your aircraft, I aim to make it appealing and inviting, inside and out.
I am within traveling distance of many of the Northeast's premiere general aviation airports - Logan International in Boston, MA, Hanscom Field in Bedford, MA, Manchester, NH, Providence, RI, Bradley International in Windsor Locks, CT, Barnes Municipal in Westfield, MA, Portland, ME, and New Haven, CT. I coordinate with pilots and owners to choose a day and time to maximize lighting and availability of the aircraft.
If you are a general aviation pilot with your own small private craft such as a Cessna Skyhawk or Piper Arrow, I can also do exterior shots of high quality for your sale or rental of the aircraft - or if you just want to get a big print for your own pleasure.
If you are interested in producing high quality imagery of your aircraft, please contact me to discuss times, dates, and rates.
For other non-commissioned business jet photos, please look at the Business Aircraft gallery which is automatically updated with any new photographs.
I am also available for air-to-air photographs of your airplane or air-to-ground photos of your airport, buildings, or land.
If you are an existing commission customer, please check out the Pro Shoots category for your custom galleries.

This Hawker is based at Hanscom Field near Boston. It previously had no high quality photographs. I came in to provide them with high quality overviews of the aircraft and its paintscheme, which is a special reflective copper paint.

Most customers often look for more traditional angles, but all angles are covered as lighting allows, such as side-ons, rear 3/4, front 3/4, and front head-on shots. These angles are provided in addition to the usual glamour shots.

This Citation had only poor quality pocket camera photos, and I was brought in to replace these. The use of ladders and strategic positioning of the plane helps set it apart from the background. The angle also emphasizes the rakish quality of the Citation's design.

This Citation is photographed at night underneath sodium vapor lights and specially balanced to reveal proper color. Night photos can give a vastly different look than daytime or evening photos, and can reveal a different side of a jet.

Challengers are some of the largest business jets available. Larger jets present their own requirements in giving an inviting look and also emphasizing that it is larger than a Hawker or a Citation. This is where using a wider angle (but not too wide) gives that effect.

This Challenger shot is meant to inspire the viewer to come in, as it is usually followed by interior photos. Several shots are taken with doors open and closed, giving the client the choice of what they want to use.
Dusk shots also allow use of the plane's active lighting to give it a "ready to go" appearance.

The interior of the Hawker. Most customers need, at a minimum, two interior shots consisting of a "forward" shot towards the cockpit and a rearward shot towards the galley or lavatory. This way the viewer can really get a feel for the complete interior of the aircraft.
Although the screens are currently off in this photo, it is possible to post-process and introduce company logos or other still images on to in-flight entertainment screens.

For these shots, utilizing ultrawide angle lenses gives the cabin a big, roomy, inviting look.

Interior of a Challenger. Challengers are bigger than most business jets and feature large, inviting cabins. Emphasizing that roominess and the features of a higher level cabin is key.
Interior of a Challenger. The large interior of a Challenger is perfect for group travel, and it also has a complete galley. Emphasizing this with dinnerware and showing the galley itself helps remind the customer what this level of aircraft provides.
I bring my own equipment and supplement any necessary decorations with props I supply such as magazines, glassware, drinks, food, flowers, tablecloths, et cetera. If you have anything specific you want included in an interior, no problem - just bring it along on shoot day.
