Capturing the Spirit of Aviation: Breitling’s Chronolog 2023-2024

I’m excited to share a recent project that combines two passions: aviation and fine art photography. As part of Breitling’s Super AVI collection—a tribute to classic aircraft that have defined aviation history—I had the incredible opportunity to photograph the aviation imagery featured in their latest Chronolog 2023-2024 catalog.

The Super AVI collection pays homage to legendary planes like the P-51 Mustang, the Vought F4U Corsair, the Curtiss Warhawk, and others. My role was to bring these iconic aircraft to life through air-to-air photography, capturing their essence and showcasing their elegance and power alongside Breitling’s watches.

Each shot involved working with experienced pilots and capturing the aircraft in dynamic formations or solo, emphasizing both their unique designs and the legacy they represent. The synergy between these aircraft and Breitling’s precision engineering made this project a true celebration of heritage and innovation.

Being part of this collaboration allowed me to reflect the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into each Breitling watch. From the roar of the engines to the sweeping lines of the planes, every element was framed to highlight the shared spirit of exploration and adventure that defines both aviation and the Super AVI collection.
