Discover our passion for flying and photography, and learn about our airshow journeys and what drives our enthusiasm.
Hi, we are RB and Jol, the faces behind Dutch Flightline Aviation Photography.
For more than 30 years, we have shared the same passion in aviation and photography.
As remote-controlled airplane and helicopter pilots, we have been competing in large-scale European aerobatic competitions for about 15 years and have both won the Dutch R/C Aerobatic Championship.
After our experience as pilots and organizers of R/C aerobatic championships, we have transitioned into the world of big aviation, focusing on airshow photography during the summer months.
Our background as R/C aerobatic pilots helps us to understand display performances and to take better airshow pictures.
We have been travelling to airshows and aviation events around Europe. From The Netherlands to Greece, Austria, Sweden, Belgium, France, U.K., Switzerland, Germany, Denmark to Poland.
We take stunning aviation pictures for airshow organizers and display teams, pilots and air forces and we expand our aviation and airshow network continuously.
For our pictures we're using professional Nikon cameras and lenses and DxO PhotoLab for post-processing.

'Teamwork makes the dream work'
Passion in Aviation Photography
RB's interest in photography started at a young age with the analog Kodak Instamatic and later Praktica MTL-5 camera of his father. Making not that great pictures, mostly learning about photography.
Later in highschool, he did a course in developing b/w photos.
After starting out with the Fujifilm FinePix 4900Z, his first DSLR was a Nikon D100.
The first page of the Nikon manual stated: 'Digital photography is a lifelong learning experience.' To this day, we are still learning every single day.
Jol has always been interested in computers and digital imaging, including Adobe Photoshop, and was making art long before Ai was invented.
After starting with a Canon PowerShot, she entered the world of DSLR cameras with a Nikon D70.
So, when photography went digital:
Aviation • Computers • Photography met
Airshows • Post-processing • Social media

Teamwork makes the Dream work
Synergy in airshow photography is very important.
Not only my wife and I operate as a professional team, but we also have great connections in the airshow and aviation world.
The mutual understanding between airshow organizers, pilots, and photographers leads to better pictures.
That's why you will often find us on or even beyond the flightline, taking airshow pictures and talking with pilots, crew and airshow organizers.
As a dedicated and professional team we are offering high quality airshow pictures and professional aviation photo shoots from the runway to the clouds.
That's our passion!
See you on the Flightline!
