A Pilot’s Perspective: capturing the raw beauty and power of storms from the cockpit with Santiago Borja

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. Imagine witnessing the raw power of a thunderstorm brewing over the Pacific Ocean, illuminated by a flash of lightning, or the mesmerizing dance of sunlight and cloud formations at high altitudes. 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. Scrolling through Borja’s collection is like flipping through a visual encyclopedia of storms, showcasing their diversity and untamed energy.
