In Pursuit of the Perfect Aviation Photo with @jamescarrollla

Celebrate the Wright brothers’ first flight anniversary by exploring #aviation. To see more flight photos from James, follow @jamescarrollla on Instagram.

James Carroll’s (@jamescarrollla) first flight was from Tampa to Atlanta at age 6 — and the 35-year-old, Los Angeles-based photographer has been obsessed with planes ever since.

Where do you mostly shoot?

Runway 24 Right at LAX. People always ask me if I have airport access. I don’t. You can get so close.

Do you have a pilot’s license?

No, but I love to fly. I’ve been pursing a million miles — I have 600,000 now — and I hope to get it before I’m 40. I fly to London in a day just to get the miles.

Which makes for a better shot, takeoffs or landings?

Landings. Takeoffs are so far away — although personally I do like shots of the sky and the clouds and a little tiny plane somewhere in the frame. But landings are way more dynamic.

What is the perfect aviation photo?

Sun, dark clouds — all the other elements that create the mood of these planes. I know what I’m looking for and I’ve come close. There are times when I’ve stood out there, completely amazed at the weather, and said, “Now I just need a big plane to come.”

Hey! I saw you posted about GMOs being safe for consumption. Shouldn't people's main problem with GMOs be the fact that they are controlled by companies such as Monsanto, who tend to "bully" local farmers.

No. This is an issue of democracy, not science.

Young people need to learn how to participate in the public process (and forget about protesting - it doesn’t work). Vote; join a local board; participate in town hall meetings, where lobbyists always show up but the public doesn’t; draft a bill and submit it to your legislator (yes, you can draft a bill); comment on environmental impact statements (EIS); learn how to influence bills in your own state; discover the powerful Federal Register, etc.

Monsanto, Cargill, BSF, etc., participate in the democratic process. Argue with this all you want, but they show up to public meetings. They plan strategies. They draft bills. They comment on EISs. They write legislators, draft bills, leverage the Federal Register - you should too.
