The company was one of the first firms to move to all-digital photography. In 1990 it worked with a color lab and Eastman Kodak to move film images into digital form for enhancement. It later developed a pixel-based image enhancement method.

Completion centers include Gulfstream Aerospace, The Jet Center, Associated Air Center, Gore Design Completions and Jet Aviation Basel. Charter and management firms include AvJet, Trans Exec Aviation, Clay Lacy Aviation and Jet Aviation.

The company also works in the air. It has shot flying aircraft from chase planes, including a B-25 bomber, a Lear 35 and Gulfstream III and IV jets. It serves OEMs, FBOs, aircraft operators, completion centers and marketing departments.
