Aviation Photography - Growing the Passion!
Who doesn’t look up when they hear the sound of a plane? There is something about flight that grabs our imagination. Aviation photography is the most adrenaline rich, action packed thrill ride to ever expose a pixel! That’s why it's the fastest growing genre of photography, and for good reason. The speed, sounds, and smells are intoxicating and when combined with that image in your camera, you get hooked! And here begins the challenge of sharing this experience in your photographs with others.

'Moose' Peterson
Moose’s passion for visual storytelling evolved into a business in 1981. His wife Sharon has been there from the start and together they have dedicated their lives to educating the public for the protection of our wild heritage through his photography. In 2008 Moose’s passion for aviation took flight retaining the same goals of preserving our aviation heritage and the freedoms they protect, pictorially and orally for future generations. Along the way Moose has been honored for his photographic passion: he is a Nikon Ambassador USA, recipient of the John Muir Conservation Award, Research Associate with the Endangered Species Recovery Program, just to name a few. He was part of Epson’s Finish Strong ad campaign. Moose was the creative producer/photographer of his acclaimed film: Warbirds and The Men Who Flew Them. He shares his knowledge through his writing, being published in over 143 magazines worldwide, author of 29 books including his latest, Takeoff and best seller Captured. One of the original Nikon shooters to receive the D1 in 1999, Moose embraced this new technology, becoming the only wildlife photographer in the world to shoot strictly digital in the early years.
