PHOTOGRAPHY BY GAVIN CONROY
Welcome to my website featuring Warbirds and military aircraft from around the
world.
I started taking Air 2 Air photographs at the end of 2006 and really enjoyed it.
Since then I have had numerous opportunities to fly with many legendary
aircraft, with pilots I admire.
Great people and aircraft have been the foundation of my photography so this
website is the vehicle for displaying the photo's to those with an interest in
aircraft, however my first love is and always will be Air 2 Air photography. I
am a PPL rated pilot and have flown more than 600 Air 2 Air photo flights that
include more than 500 different aircraft so have a good idea of what is and
isn't possible when taking Air 2 Air photographs.
Flights are always conducted with a thorough brief before hand and compatible
camera ships will be provided as well as formation endorsed camera ship pilots.
If you would like your aircraft photographed please don't hesitate to contact
me, the aircraft does not have to be a Warbird, helicopters, airliners, and
other GA aircraft are catered for and you can check out some images of these
types in the "my portfilio" gallery in the "my photography" folder.
