The Opportunity

Documenting an aviation environment shaped by hospitality

Atlantic Aviation BCT brings together the renovation of an existing office building, a redesigned fixed-base operator (FBO) facility and private-aviation guest experience, and the construction of new aircraft hangars. Niles Bolton Associates provided architecture and interior design services for the project.

The photography will communicate the relationship between architecture, interior design, lighting, aircraft, and aviation operations while creating a versatile image library for portfolio, marketing, public relations, editorial, and award use.

Recommended Project Coverage

A focused 12–15-image architectural aviation story

The scope is designed to document the most important architectural, interior-design, and aviation components of the project. Final compositions will respond to site readiness, aircraft availability, natural light, and priorities confirmed during pre-production.

FBO Exteriors

  • Daytime land-side exterior
  • Daytime air-side exterior
  • Dawn, dusk, or blue-hour hero exterior
  • Aircraft-integrated exterior where available

FBO Interiors

  • Lobby and CSR desk
  • Passenger lounge and pilot’s lounge
  • Café, galley, and conference room
  • Office, bathroom, and supporting spaces

Hangars + Aviation Context

  • Two to three hangar exterior views
  • Two hangar interior views
  • Aircraft placement where operationally available
  • Select occupied scenes for scale and use

Production Plan

One streamlined production window across sunset and sunrise

The production is intentionally compressed into two connected photography windows, protecting both evening and morning light while keeping the travel and overall project investment lean.

01

Travel + Afternoon Production

Arrive in Boca Raton around 1:00–2:00 PM, meet the on-site team, confirm access and aircraft availability, and begin photographing priority interiors, hangars, and exterior compositions.

02

Sunset + Overnight

Continue through sunset and blue hour, protecting the strongest late-day exterior conditions before wrapping for the evening and staying one night nearby.

03

Sunrise + Completion

Return at sunrise to complete remaining priority images through approximately noon, then depart Boca Raton and drive home that afternoon.

What the Engagement Includes

Planning, photography, post-production, and delivery

Pre-production planning

Coordination with Niles Bolton Associates and Atlantic Aviation around readiness, access, aircraft availability, priority spaces, and participating organizations.

On-site styling + photography

Interior and exterior architectural photography with thoughtful adjustment of furnishings, lighting, accessories, and minor visual distractions where needed.

Architectural post-production

Professional color, perspective, lighting, window-view, surface, and distraction refinement while preserving an accurate representation of the finished design.

Curated image delivery

Approximately 12–15 fully retouched photographs delivered as high-resolution and web-ready files, with select alternate crops and commercial licensing.

Project Investment

Investment in the complete engagement

The investment covers the streamlined sunset-and-sunrise production, architectural post-production, organized delivery, and the included commercial license for Niles Bolton Associates.

Production + Niles Bolton Associates License $4,000

Includes the complete photography engagement and a commercial architecture-firm license for Niles Bolton Associates.

Additional Participant License $1,100

Per additional participating organization, including Atlantic Aviation, a lighting representative, contractor, consultant, manufacturer, or project vendor.

Estimated Travel — Billed at Cost NTE $600
Travel may include a rental vehicle, fuel, one night of lodging near the project, tolls, meals, and necessary travel incidentals. Actual travel costs may be lower and will not exceed $600 without prior approval.

Anticipated Three-Party Cost Share

With three confirmed participants: approximately $2,267 per organization

This example assumes participation by Niles Bolton Associates, Atlantic Aviation, and the project lighting representative. With all three organizations confirmed, production, licensing, and actual travel costs will be divided equally.

Three Confirmed Participants Approximately $2,267 Each

$6,200 production + licensing
plus up to $600 in actual travel
divided equally among three organizations

Deposit: 50% of each participant’s production + licensing share
Production + Licensing Share Approximately $2,067

Estimated production and licensing investment per participant under the anticipated three-party structure.

Maximum Travel Share Up to $200

Estimated maximum travel contribution per participant. Actual travel expenses may be lower.

Final per-party pricing will be calculated after participating organizations are confirmed. Participant licensing does not automatically expand the approved image count or production schedule. Material additions to the shot list may require an adjusted project scope.

Next Steps

Put the project in motion

01

Confirm Participants

Identify the organizations participating in the production and licensing structure.

02

Confirm Readiness

Select the production window once construction, interiors, landscaping, cleaning, and key areas are photo-ready.

03

Finalize Priorities

Confirm access, aircraft opportunities, and any participant-specific photography priorities.

04

Reserve Production

Complete participant deposits and finalize the production schedule and logistics.

Project Terms

Clear terms for a well-managed production

Scheduling + project readiness

Photography will be scheduled once construction is substantially complete, interiors are fully installed and styled, exterior site work is finished, and key areas are ready for final photography.

Air-side access + aircraft movement

Atlantic Aviation will coordinate security clearance, building and hangar access, aircraft permissions, and authorized personnel to move or position aircraft and aviation equipment.

Post-production + delivery

Typical post-production turnaround is approximately two weeks. Final licensed files are released after remaining production balances and applicable travel costs have been paid.

Scope adjustments

This proposal is based on the anticipated 12–15-image scope and streamlined sunset-and-sunrise production window. Material additions or changes requiring a longer production window may require an updated investment.

Rescheduling + cancellation

Project deposits may be transferred to a rescheduled production date, subject to availability. Client cancellations remain subject to the established cancellation schedule and any nonrefundable travel expenses already incurred.

Image licensing

Upon final payment, each confirmed participant receives a non-exclusive, perpetual commercial license for approved portfolio, website, organic social media, printed collateral, business development, public relations, editorial, and award-submission use. Paid advertising, advertorial use, resale, sublicensing, and transfer to unlicensed third parties require separate written permission.

A familiar aviation client. A new architectural story.

The Nashville Atlantic Aviation production remains one of the projects I return to regularly, and I am excited to build on that collaboration in Boca Raton.

The goal is to create a refined and versatile image library that communicates Niles Bolton Associates’ architecture and interior design while supporting Atlantic Aviation and participating project partners through their own licensed marketing, communications, and portfolio use.

Confirm the participating organizations and project readiness to begin coordinating the production window.
