Photos by Benetos

Photos by Benetos I'm an amateur photographer based in Sydney, Australia, with a camera always at the ready. Hi there! Thanks for stopping by!

While I enjoy capturing just about anything that catches my eye — from urban scenes to nature — my real passion lies in plane spotting While I enjoy capturing just about anything that catches my eye — from urban scenes to nature — my real passion lies in plane spotting. There's something fascinating about the energy of an airport, the beauty of aviation, and the challenge of getting that perfect s

hot as aircraft soar overhead or taxi by. Sydney is my main base for photography adventures, but I'm excited to start exploring other airports soon — both across Australia and hopefully even internationally. Every airport has its own unique vibe and stories to tell, and I can't wait to capture more of them through my lens. I'm always happy to connect with fellow photographers, aviation enthusiasts, or anyone who shares a love for capturing the world in photos. If you're ever out spotting or want to meet up at the airport for a photo session, feel free to reach out!
