Rip’s WORK

Greetings and thank you for your interest in our work. My name is Rip Torn, and for the past 57 years, I have been able to combine my love of flying with photography.

Over 55 years ago I fly my first airplane which led to a career as a professional pilot. As my career progressed my perspective on nature and people took a new angle. My first career was in the US Air Force as a reconnaissance pilot flying the 50000-pound Phantom II photo, radar, and electronic mainly in Europe for seven years from 200 feet up to 55000 feet. I bought my first SLR camera while there traveling throughout the continent as many do and started snapping pictures and slides. I continued to fly for a major airline until recently and travelled the world capturing memories. I had a unique view without obstructions out the front and saw some amazing sights very few others got to experience.

As I learned digital photography and its capabilities to better capture images and details, the more I wanted to learn. A new technology emerged- drone photography and now had another means to capture some of the imagery I had before. I certified as a commercial drone sUAV operator and an excited to share those skills with the visualmavericks.com team.

I invite you to see some of my past work and hope you will consider using our serives for personal and commercial needs.

All the best,

Rip Torn
