Up in the Air, Out the Window.
Posted in Location Photography on January 20th, 2010 by Rachel Hulin – 1 Comment Tags: airplanes, areial imageryI don’t know about you, but I’ve been seeing an awful lot of through-the-airplane-window shots lately. Maybe it’s because camera phones are so prevalent and of increasingly good quality, but I might go so far as to call this a trend.
Why don’t we take a little tour of these images? A good place to start would be with Kate Steciw, I think, who makes beeeyootiful work.

These are called Mountains of Madness. I have it on good authority that they are the Alps.


This one is by Alex Prager, a new phenom in the art world.

I love the drink and plane window juxtaposition. Here is a vintage shot, by none other than William Eggleston.

This is Utah. Amazing, no? The image is by Alexander Heilner. See more, here.

These are almost otherworldly. By flickr’s Zeke Sneaker.


And finally, a camera phone image over Hong Kong, by Dennis Wong. Very cool.
Keep up that high-flying work, folks!

Superb shots! Of all the time I’ve spent on airplanes, I’ve not once taken out my camera to photograph anything in the cabin or out the window. Shame on me.
