Welcome to Rosspilot's online galleries . . .
Rosspilot is the artist name used by
Commercial Pilot and Aerial Photographer Lee Ross. His career as an
aerial photographer had its genesis in early childhood
when he dreamed of flying while watching "Sky King" on Saturday mornings.
His father (an avid photographer hobbyist) taught him to take pictures as a child.
The dream of flight became reality in 1976 when he learned to fly
helicopters in the US Army, and then transitioned into small airplanes in
1979.
In 1995, he started his business that combined his love for both
photography and aviation.
Ross has served for the last 4 years on the Board of Directors of the
Professional Aerial Photographers Association (PAPA) International. In
2004, he became Eastern Regional Director, and in 2006, he was elected Vice
President for National Programs.
He has earned numerous awards, including Best Commercial Aerial
Photograph of 2006 for his "San Francisco Morning", and Best Technical
Achievement of 2002 for his "Tribute".
In 2005, he earned the designation of "Master Aerial Photographer".
Rosspilot lives in Rockland County, New York with his wife of 23 years,
Paula.
