Soar through the skies with Santiago Borja, a pilot who isn’t just skilled at navigating the friendly skies, but also a talented photographer with a unique vantage point. Borja, who works for Ecuador Airlines, transforms his cockpit into a photography studio during his rest periods, capturing breathtaking images of storms from a perspective most will never experience.

Borja’s photographs aren’t just visually stunning; they offer a glimpse into the often unseen world of weather systems, reminding us of the awe-inspiring beauty and power of nature.
Beyond the technical marvel of photographing from a moving airplane amidst turbulence, what truly elevates Borja’s work is his ability to capture the essence of a storm. The dramatic play of light and shadow, the intricate textures of the clouds, and the sheer scale of these weather phenomena are all on display in his photographs.
