Rob Edgcumbe has been photographing aircraft since he was a teenager growing up in the UK. His interest in all things aviation included gaining his pilot’s license while in High School and then took him through an aeronautical engineering education and into the aerodynamics department of the then British Aerospace Military Aircraft’s aerodynamics department.

Gradually, as his career has developed, it has taken him further away from the fun sides of engineering and into the commercial world. However, his interest in the subject has never diminished and photographing aircraft of all types remains a passion.

Rob now lives in Chicago although work commitments mean that he spends a lot of his time travelling around the US and occasionally to Europe. During these trips, his camera is never far away, always keen to take an opportunity to see and photograph something new and interesting.
