Monday, I met Mike at the Lancaster airport for a portrait session. Mike flies helicopters for a living and wanted something to represent him. He pull one of the main helicopters out of the hanger to use for his session. I was able to sit in one for the first time and learn what everything was used for. We didn’t get to take one up, (darn it) but it was interesting! After we were done shooting, he showed me a special project. We went through another dark hanger and behind a secret panel to find wrecked helicopters that he was helping restore. He was standing there telling me about one that was almost finished when I saw this amazing light peaking in on him. So I had to shoot more.
Here are just 2 of my favorites for our shoot.
