DELTA AIR LINES // Customer Experience

– Just Plane Awesome –

From the ground in a Seattle-Tacoma International Airport hangar, the sheer magnitude of an Airbus A330-900neo is unmistakable. To illustrate the magic of Delta Airlines’ on-board experience, I worked with a crew of over 50 people for a larger-than-life shoot that captured the luxurious cabin experience of Delta One and Delta Premium Select.

Because our set was a plane that had to be back in the air the next day, production kicked off in the morning and our crew worked overnight. Our images needed to reflect the passage of time (and changes in sunlight) on a long-haul flight; combined with strategic interior lighting, we used continuous light from four ARRI SkyPanel 360’s on scissor lifts and condors outside the aircraft. From there, we brought the perks of Delta’s premium cabins to life with the help of talent flown in from across the country: snoozing on lay-flat beds, schmoozing over prosecco, and settling in for dinner and a movie.

Fueled by the on-set barista and my go-to reggaeton playlist :), our crew handled tight timelines and complex technical needs with patience and expertise. I’m grateful for the collective creativity and dedication that made this shoot a success!
