"Airportraits" By Mike Kelley Celebrates The Beauty Of Aviation

By now, you probably recognize this image. This timeless piece was captured and produced by photographer Mike Kelley

Once this shot was released, it ended up all over the world, both online and in various forms of media. It was all done as a personal project and the idea was simply outstanding!

Over the course of the past two years, Mike decided to expand on it and he just released the rest of the project today. Head on over to his website, http://www.mpkelley.com/projects/, to see the full project of all 18 photos! 

Mike highlights what it's about: 

"From hanging out of helicopters over the city of Los Angeles, camping out under the midnight sun to photograph the architecture of Iceland, or photographing the interior of a Pan-Am 747 to re-create iconic advertisements from the heyday of aviation, I’ve been lucky enough to work on some amazing personal projects all over the world."
