About

At Principal Photography, we bring creative vision to life. Whether it is a vision created in-house by our staff, or a vision developed by you, we procure the talent, resources, and utilize our knowledge to make your vision a reality. From complex air to air photography and film sessions, to coordinating sensitive high-profile photo shoots encompassing celebrities and leading edge designer brands, the staff at Principal Photography takes on each project, large or small with boutique like care.

Unique Experience- As an Aerial Director of Photography, John Parker and his staff are well-versed in multiple cameras, platforms, and aerial coordination. From the RED One digital Cinema Camera, to the Cineflex V14 HD, our experience in cinema and aerial cinema lends to developing the right plan for cost-effectively shooting any project.

Air to Air Photography and Cinematography-  We have been trusted by the Canadian Air Force, Avantiar, Breitling, and many of the biggest names in the airshow community to capture exceptional still and moving images while they’re at work in the air.

Location Scouting and Aerial Resource Acquisition- Need a unique location or specific aircraft to fit your project?  We have a vast network of aircraft worldwide and can find anything to fit your specific requirements.
