Agricultural Aviators



Back in June I had the privilege of photographing Jeff Chorman and his operation Allen Chorman & Son, Inc.  They have been in the business for a number of years and run a tight ship.  It didn't take me long to realize where I could be versus where not to be but I had full access for shooting. 











This project was put together with assistance from the NAAA (National Agriculture Aviation Association).  I reached out to them in 2012 to see about shooting a series of portraits of the aviators, mechanics and whomever makes these operations tick.  It took a while to get off the ground but this was my first outing and it was fantastic.  This trip was more to inform myself on day to day operations and where I would fit in the ebb and flow of things.  I was able to snap a couple of quick test portraits before I make a return trip focus more on the series.
