Sortie · Hungarian Air Force · backseat
Most photographers shoot fast subjects. Few become one. Cleared to fly backseat in a JAS 39 Gripen with the Hungarian Air Force, camera in hand at 40,000 ft — documenting flight from inside it.
Air-to-air, flight line, exercises and airshows: aviation work built on access, trust, and a stomach that holds.
Aerial · 4K · mapping
A new vantage point on the same fast subjects. Licensed drone work — aerial coverage of sport, venues, and landscapes from angles the ground can't reach. Weddings and events also covered on request, ground and air.
