What I really like about this one is how the whole shoot was put into practice:

• A basic idea ("I need to do something with aviation")
• An inspiration from the location opportunity that he heard of
• Coming up with a good story / concept for the shoot (promotional shots for as if it was still in the 70s)
• The styling, obviously
• Coping with the difficult lighting possiblities and settling for the simplest solution
• Giving the images a nice overall look in post (manipulating curves) that is very subtle and yet very apparent and authentic

Symphotic

I love it. As I often say about photography: "if I don't record it, it will cease to exist". In this case I've been proven wrong: some things can be carefully recreated.
