BIOGRAPHY
Michael “Mick“Balter is an German based freelance photojournalist with
the main focus on military aviation photography around the globe.
As a specialist in producing night shots and air-to-air photos (in-flight
photography) during several sorties as a major element in my published
articles – depicting the atmosphere of flying at its most exciting and
exhilarating best during each mission and shooting.
Due to the high quality standard I have achieved, MBAviation-Images

external public relations purpose after each flight. Featuring my work,
these studies of today’s hi-tech airborne warriors represent the cutting
edge in military aviation photography. And to date I have flown with the
German Air Force, German Navy and German Army, US Navy , US Air
Force, Italian Navy and Air Force, Belgium Air Force, Austrian Air
