My name is Justin van der Laan, an aviation photographer with a strong passion for both military and civil aviation. Over the past four years, I have focused on capturing aircraft in their natural environment, from military exercises and operational flying to civil aviation.

For me, aviation photography is about more than simply photographing an aircraft. It is about capturing a unique moment, atmosphere or movement that may only last for a few seconds and preserving it through photography.

Alongside my photography, I also work within the aviation industry, giving me an even closer connection to the world of aviation. Through my work, I aim to share my perspective on aviation and document the aircraft, people and moments that make this world so unique.
