AirCraft: The Jet As Art
Standing at the end of a runway, Jeffrey Milstein captures images of aircraft just moments before they land. Carefully positioned and using a high-resolution digital camera, he photographs them from below as they streak past at speeds up to 175 miles per hour.
A professional photographer, graphic designer, and architect, Milstein infuses his photography with his lifelong creative passion and fascination for flight. Using photographic post-processing techniques, he distills the subject from the background to focus attention on design, color, and symmetry. Milstein’s supersized prints seem to pull you into the air, as though you are along for the ride.
This collection of 33 photographic archival-pigment prints presents the power and elegance of aircraft in flight and transforms aviation technology into fine art.
This exhibition was made possible by a grant from the Smithsonian Women’s Committee.-
