I met up with Steven at the Portland Jetport – not one of the usual places we photograph. We were meeting there after Maine Aviation’s usual hours, and the building and tarmac were empty except for Steven and two beautiful flight instructors, and I thought I understood why Steven enjoyed spending his free time in an airplane
But once we were out on the tarmac, I could see that it was single-prop jet, and the freedom that it offered, that keeps Steven going back to the airport. But I’m sure the flight instructors don’t hurt.
Tell me about flying. I have been flying airplanes since I was in 10th grade and it is fantastic!!! You can’t beat the feeling of serenity and freedom to be with the sky the sun and everything in between!!!!
That’s why my photo shoot took place at the Jetport as well as the studio. I wanted my portraits to represent something that I really enjoyed but also I knew that my parents wanted a few images that were more formal.
