MISSION READY is a visual narrative about a world that’s not accessible to most of us. The images give us a realistic and uncensored insight into the “Best Fighter Squadron of the U.S. Air Force”. From 2016 to 2021, I was granted access to several restricted military airbases and experienced first-hand what it takes to be a fighter pilot during a training mission in an F-15 Eagle. The contemporary photography is never shy of demystifying a sometimes romanticized world, yet always with an aesthetic point of view. This is not Top Gun. This is better. This is real.
