Hello World!

I’m Ed, & welcome to Cleared 4 Capture!

I am a proud veteran, husband, & father of three, with a background as a U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper avionics maintainer - where precision wasn’t optional & every detail mattered. That experience shaped how I see the world, & it still drives me today in my career in corporate CPG sales & in every frame I capture through this endeavor.

What started as a passion has evolved into a mission.

My work typically centers on aviation & automotive photography & media, but hopefully more importantly on the stories behind them. As both a C5 & C8 Corvette owner, I don’t just document automotive culture-I live it.

In aviation, I’m drawn not just to what flies, but to the people who make it possible.

I additionally appreciate landscape and wildlife photography, & look forward to branching into performance photography soon.

I want to focus on telling the stories that often go unseen-the maintainers, the crews, the men & women behind the scenes whose skill, discipline, & sacrifice keep aircraft mission-ready & make airshow demonstrations possible. The ones who don’t always get the spotlight, but without them, nothing leaves the ground.

Through my lens, I aim to go deeper than the surface-capturing not just the moment, but the meaning behind it. The grit. The preparation, The purpose.

This is CLEARED 4 CAPTURE - where every frame tells a story, & every moment is captured with intent.
