SKYRYSE contracted Alex Bernstein to handle the launch imagery for their first helicopter, the SKYRYSE ONE. The heli was only finished a day before the shoot, and with a tight deadline to meet, Alex had to get creative to find an approach that would enable all the images to be captured in a single day. Alex decided to shoot in an available hangar, exploiting its best qualities and elevating the scene with careful timing and unique composition. 

Alex envisioned the strip of light setting the mood for the entire set, and Recom Farmhouse's NY studio pulled it all together beautifully, extending the light source, cleaning up and expanding in the environment. The team worked closely with Alex to balance mood and color, realizing the vision and resulting in a beautiful set that sets this work apart from the standard we see in aviation. 

All images were captured in-camera with mixed light.
