About Me
Hey there, I'm Hayden.
My love for aviation photography started in March of 2021, taking videos of planes taking off at the Florida Keys/Marathon Intl'. After coming home, I slowly got more engaged in the "planespotting" community, starting an Instagram page and creating an account on FlightAware.
Fast-forward to March of 2022, I began building my connections, and my reach began to expand. In June 2022, I sold my first picture to an aircraft brokering company for commercial use and profit. Since then, my work has seen more exposure and interaction than the entire 13-14 months before combined.
Today I am a published photographer with well over a million views on all platforms with work shared and seen by people all over the globe.
