Checklist for a Great Jet Photo Shoot

We’ve always said that you can tell a professional by the amount of care he takes before, during and after a shoot.

Here’s our process:

Before the Shoot

Things the Client Should Do

• Arrange to have the aircraft cleaned/detailed.
• Remove personal items and equipment if possible.
• Ensure that the FBO is expecting us.
• Arrange to have Line People available if needed to move aircraft to desired location(s).
• Be sure that we (and the Line People) know where you’d like to have the photography done, and arrange for space on the ramp as needed.
• Arrange for power to the aircraft (power cart).
• Arrange to have an Avionics Specialist available to power up the aircraft and set the displays.
• Provide any special props or equipment (red carpet, limousine, etc.)

Things Taylor Greenwood Will Do

• Facilitate a pre-shoot briefing to identify any opportunities or potential concerns.
• Arrange for catering, flowers and interior set design as agreed.
• Send a certificate of insurance.
• Address your concerns.

During the Shoot

When we arrive to do the shoot, we will meet with the FBO staff and others as you designate.  Some of our clients find it inconvenient to attend the shoot. We will work with the contact person you designate.

Things the Client Should Do

• We don’t necessarily need a representative present during the shoot, but you’re very welcome to watch.
• We’re fully insured and have photographed more than 50 aircraft in just the past year! – you can rest assured that your aircraft is in good hands.

Things Taylor Greenwood Will Do

• Our crew will tuck seatbelts and stow charts, documents and other items as needed.
• Complete interior shoot takes 3.5 to 4 hours
• Complete exterior photo shoot takes 2 hours, but may be dependent on weather, sunset time, and other factors.
• Review quality of photos and back them up as we take them.

After The Shoot

Things the Client Should Do

• Arrange to have aircraft powered down & secured

Things Taylor Greenwood Will Do

• Untuck seatbelts, replace any stowed equipment where we found it.
• Stow any ladders and other items we used.
• We will leave the airplane & FBO as it was when we arrived.
• We immediately back up data to secondary hard drives.
• We provide you with excellent professional photos.
