Josef Hoflehner’s Jet Airliner

Photographer Josef Hoflehner has a new book out title Jet Airliner. The book is a series of black and white photos shot on Maho Beach right under the Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten, Dutch West Indies. The photos are extremely breathtaking and I couldn’t imagine being at that beach, let alone how loud it would be! (via iconology).

Check out some photos after the jump as well as a few videos of planes landing at the airport!

Having been there, is quite an experiance. If you don’t have your wits about ya the jet wash will can knock you over. The bar that’s on maho has good shrimps and cheep beer. I’d be curious to take a bike to the island, there’s some interesting architectural stuff in town.

我朋友说,这个照片是通过photoshop做出来的.
他觉得人不可能离飞机那么近.
震耳欲聋的尾气声会把你震晕.

尽管我和他说这个不是在中国,别用你的想象去说话.
我是说,他怀疑你拍的照片不是实景拍摄的.对此我希望您能给点解释.

其实我也和他说了卡帕的一句话:”你拍得不好,是因为你离现场不够近”
希望可以给我发邮件

My friend said that the pictures were done by photoshop out.
He felt that people from the aircraft can not be so close.
Deafening sound of the exhaust gas halo will shock you.

Although he and I say this not in China, do not use your imagination to speak.
I mean, he suspected that your photographs are not real locations. As for this I hope you can give points to explain.

In fact, I have also, and he said Capa’s sentence: “You looks bad, is because you not close enough away from the scene”
Wish to give me e-mail

St. Maartens was on a show called “10 Most Dangerous Airports”, it’s pretty nuts how close you can get to the airplanes, they also had an airport in Gibraltar that had a highway going through the middle of it and pedestrians would walk across the tarmac, pretty crazy.
