About Us

I am Evert Keijzer, the driving force and founder behind Ironbird Photography, a Netherlands-based organization that has become synonymous with elite aerial documentation. Recognized as one of Europe’s leading A2A photographers, I specialize in capturing the most critical and spectacular moments in aviation. Whether your organization seeks to document the introduction of a new airliner type, the launch of a signature livery, my mission is to deliver imagery that is technically flawless and profoundly evocative. Similarly, I collaborate directly with military squadrons to commemorate special events, fini flights, and unique color schemes, ensuring these milestones are preserved with the distinction they deserve. This platform serves as my editorial space to share the privileged access and technical insights gleaned from these unique projects. I regularly organize A2A photography projects that are open to enthusiasts seeking to immerse themselves in this unique art form. Browse these pages to follow my aviation adventures, learn the secrets of elite photography, and be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for updates on our latest expeditions and projects.

Driven by the roar of jet engines and the elegance of flight, my career stands at the intersection of aviation passion and professional precision. For nearly four decades, the camera has been my most trusted instrument, capturing the energy, scale, and sheer mechanical beauty of the skies. My photographic portfolio spans dynamic aerial subjects, intense sports moments, and the disciplined artistry of ballroom dancing, all united by a dedication to freezing fleeting moments with clarity and impact. This visual expertise is reinforced by a parallel career as a seasoned professional editor, translator, and proofreader. This background instills a crucial commitment to accuracy and nuanced communication—skills that are essential in both the cockpit and the newsroom. In the pages of this magazine, I combine these dual disciplines. I aim not only to share my experiences behind the lens in challenging environments but also to provide insightful commentary on the technical and cultural aspects of flight. My mission is to ensure that every word and every image here is sharp, compelling, and worthy of the subject we celebrate.
