About Us
AirPlay is about taking our passions and love of nature
and sharing it with others. Photography is more than
just capturing a lasting memory.
We use digital cameras, both still and video, in our work
and spend a lot of time both in the air, in the field or
studio, and in the editing room.
AirPlay continues to venture in new and exciting areas
of photography and video. At present, AirPlay is deeply
immersed in Aerial Photography and Video, Time
Lapse, and in limited Green/Blue Screen, Compositing,
and Studio and Event still photography.
Mike Lanfor
Owner, Chief Pilot, Cameraman
AirPlay was founded by Mike Lanfor, the principle owner and
photographer/editor, in the late 1990’s, preceding his transition from a
career military life to civilian life.
Having pursued a life of adventure, whether it was rock/mountain
climbing, skydiving, or flying, Mike always found a way to involve
photography or Video.
Mike still climbs, mountain bikes, skydives, hikes, backpacks, travels and
continues to explore, pursuing photography in most everything he does.
Credentials:
Outside of photography, Mike holds current Instructional or Instructor
Examiner Ratings in Static Line, IAD, Tandem and AFF from the United
States Parachute Association. He also holds a current United States
Parachute Association Professional (PRO) Exhibition Rating for
performing parachute demonstrations. As a retired Army Non-
Commissioned Officer, Mike holds Basic, Senior and Master Parachutist
Wings, Military Free Fall Wings (also known as MFF or HALO), and foreign
Airborne Wings from both the Republic of Korea and the Kingdom of
Thailand. Mike also has training from the U.S. Army in photo surveillance.
Aside from that, his photography education is, as much, from self
education and intense study as it is from the world of trial and error. Mike
likes to credit much of his learning from the selfless help of many peers
and professionals (Carol Sternberg,
Igor Sphiro, Lazlo Andacs, Jimmy Stahl, Sonic, my brother David and
others).
