Today I’m in Atlanta making photographs in an airplane at the airport for a major commercial client. While I have no idea how the shoot is going since I am writing this a few days before it happens, I have no doubt it’s going smooth and the images we are making are incredible. The big challenge on this specific project will be to light the airplane as if it’s 30,000ft in the sky with sun streaming into the windows, when in reality we will be parked on the ground in a likely dark hangar with a bunch of mechanics driving around and grumpy about all of the people who don’t belong in their workspace.

Sorry, mechanics.
