Aviation Week Photo Contest 2024
Winner of the 2024 Aviation Week Photo Contest – Commercial Aviation category
Some great news at the end of the year. I have won the Commercial Aviation category of the Aviation Week Photo Contest 2024. I am incredibly proud and excited to win this first prize. Aviation Week is one of the leading aviation publishers in the world. And to win in this contest is a great honour. I am deeply passionate about aviation photography. And being recognised in this way feels like a big achievement.
About this photo
I took the winning photo at Zurich Airport in October 2023. The photo shows an Air Malta Airbus A320-200 taking off from Runway 28. After a heavy storm, the sun made a brief appearance, casting a beautiful light on the scene as the aircraft kicked up a cloud of water. In that sense it was one of those moments where nature and aviation came together perfectly. And I was fortunate to be there to capture it.

A boost to my passion for aviation
I’ve spent 30+ years photographing aircraft. Each photo tells a story, and I’m always looking for those unique moments that stand out. I always strive to catch the the power and beauty of flight. Ideally combined with crazy weather. In this photo everything came together.
This particular photo reminds me why I love aviation photography. It’s about more than just capturing an image; it’s about being in the right place at the right time and being prepared to seize the opportunity. Winning this award is a wonderful reminder of why I continue to pursue this passion.
