Virgin America
The original brief from New York agency Anomaly was to produce a brand library of images for use by Virgin America. The project was a logistical challenge as the airline only had one plane with no seats and a freshly painted livery that was highly secret at the time.
The solution was for two different photographers to shoot the plane over a period of a few months. Firstly, Alex P. (a British car photographer) traveled to Alabama to shoot the brand new Virgin America A320 fresh from the paint shop.
The second shoot took place a few months later at San Francisco's International Airport. I shot a library of images of the brand new interior (including pictures of each of the unique lighting states), details of the seats and the entertainment system, as well as creating a series of iconic product images that would be suitable for use in ads and online — the vast majority of which are still in use today.
