"AirCraft" Flies the Friendly Skies

The “Other Scenes” opening wasn’t the only scene worth making in LA on Saturday night; next door at Paul Kopekin Gallery, Jeffrey Milstein was signing his book AirCraft: The Jet as Art, a collection of stunning photography of commercial planes.

Milstein shoots his subjects at speeds of over 200mph, capturing them from the runway, sometimes as they’re sailing directly over his head. He then removes all contextual information, suspending the planes as crisp, hyper-detailed forms against a field of white.
