Why us?

COAP is a globally respected professional organisation with a first class reputation for delivering results. Our team has been featured in hundreds of publications and worked alongside some of the biggest aviation companies & military organisations in the world.

We speak your language, Captain! We practice what we preach… We’ve bought the t-shirt… and the sticker… and the patch… AND that extra lens!

Whether shooting in difficult, back-lit conditions at an airshow, capturing the detail of a flight deck or shooting fast jets popping flares across the skies… We live aviation photography as a way of life.

We’ve helped thousands of people get to where they want to be in their aviation photography, through years of mentoring, tuition, advice and courses, to totally transform the level of results in all aviation genres.

We keep it real. We know exactly what you want, why you want it and what you need to get there.
