There are wedding photographers who create the perfect setting for people’s pictures to come out flawless. Then there are nature and animal photographers who are at the mercy of mother nature and wait for days on end to capture the perfect shot. Finally, there are aviation photographers who risk their lives to click aircraft!
I say this because recently, IAF’s Anil Chopra, Retd Air Mashal and fighter pilot, shared a video on Twitter showing how aviation photography is done, and it’s nothing but a thrilling watch! The video shows how the female photographer sits on the edge of an aircraft shooting 3 jets in front of her.
It’s also amazing to see how she signals the jets to move here and there so she can capture the perfect shot and the jets follow her lead!
Have a look:

The photographer is like 'Can you not hold still to a position for a few seconds? Why keep shifting?' 😂 https://t.co/9SPkaxEfjJ

Some people wondered how the photographer is sitting still in such dangerous conditions.
Even though tied from behind with a rope, how is the photographer sitting still as if there is no air blow?

A person replied that there is no air turbulence inside the aircraft, making her able to sit still.
Because he is still inside the plane he is on edge but still that why no wind turbulence
