James Goggin Aviation Photography
 

More Information

     

I live in Cheshire in the north west of England (UK), where I have now lived for over 10 years but I was born and raised in Maidstone, Kent, and it was here that my passion for aviation and photography grew.

On leaving full time education my applications to both the RAF and Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm were unsuccessful due to colour blindness but despite these setbacks my interest in aircraft has never wavered, and even though my full time career is totally unrelated to aviation (I'm a Regional Sales Manager with Siemens), my aviation photography is proving ever more successful with requests to supply publications, operators and even the aircrews from around the world.

Through my photography I strive to portray the elegance, power and emotion that aviation can instill in everyone, both young and old.

I attend events around the UK but also in Europe and North America.

In 2006, I achieved the status of Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS) through my aviation photography. In 2010 I became a member of the International Society for Aviation Photography (ISAP).
