Images of Light and Lift

Welcome to Images of Light and Lift, where I capture the art and action of aviation and turn them into artful images.

I specialize in air-to-air photography; from planning through briefing and execution of the photo flight, I bring 30+ years of piloting, formation flying, and air-to-air photography to bear on your project.

I am a FAST-carded formation pilot, commercial airline captain for American Airlines, warbird pilot, and Reno air race pilot. In other words, I believe I have the background to work with you and your team and produce the results you want in a safe and controlled manner.

On the photography and journalism side, I’ve been shooting for 40 years, have written three books, shot numerous covers, and have close to 350 magazine stories published.
