ABOUT

 

Steve Hayes has been taking aviation photographs for nearly forty years.  During that time he has collected thousands of photos from all over the country; from the Reno Air Races to the EAA Fly-in at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. His style reflects an artistic view encompassing all types and eras of aircraft. 

Over the years his photos have won several national awards.  Most recently he won the prestigious 2022 Aviation Week Photo Contest for 'best of the best' of all entries with his EA-18 "Growler" photo titled 'Storm Clouds' shown on this site.  His photos are currently featured on the 2021 Moses Lake Air Show website and been selected numerous times as a juried finalist in Seattle's Museum of Flight “Spirit of Flight” photography exhibition.  Steve is also a creative contributor to Getty Images.

All photos are original works.  Some works reflect a digital painting representation of a photograph. The images presented have been thoughtfully curated from his private collection.  Enjoy!
