Meet Ed Aldridge: Experienced Photographer with a Passion

I’m a self-proclaimed fanatic of the three C’s: cameras, cars, and computers. My passion for photography ignited when I joined the US Air Force, where I discovered the power of a lens to capture life’s fleeting moments. Stationed at various bases, I worked for public affairs offices as a stringer, shooting everything from official events to candid scenes of military life. My photographs found their way into base newspapers and even broader USAF publications, marking the start of a lifelong love affair with the craft. Beyond the technical skills I honed, it was the thrill of freezing time—whether through the roar of a jet engine or the quiet beauty of a landscape—that kept me hooked. Today, that passion spills over into my favorite subjects: family, motorsports, and travel, each frame a testament to the adventures that define me.

Photography has since evolved into a family affair. For years, I’ve turned my camera on my wife and kids, documenting our shared journey with an eye for authenticity and connection. Now, we’ve transformed that intimacy into a collaborative business, where my wife and son don’t just assist—they wield cameras of their own. Together, we strive to bring out the best in every individual and group we photograph, crafting images that carry meaning and purpose. Our work has taken us far beyond personal albums, earning spots in prestigious outlets like the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Business Insider, and Gizmodo, alongside motorsport staples like SpeedSport News and the National Hot Rod Association’s member magazine. These publications reflect not just our skill but our dedication to telling stories that resonate.

Closer to home, our focus has shifted to a more personal mission: bringing beautiful, purposeful images into your living spaces or businesses. What began as a solo pursuit in the Air Force has grown into a shared endeavor, blending my early days of shooting high-octane action with a quieter, more intimate craft. Whether it’s the sleek curves of a racecar, the joy of a family portrait, or the stillness of a travel scene, we aim to create something timeless. My three C’s—cameras, cars, and computers—still drive me, but it’s the chance to share that passion with my family and clients that keeps the shutter clicking.
