Hong Kong Airport

This view of the Hong Kong airport was shot through the window from the passenger waiting area and lounge. I was waiting to board my flight to Bangkok, and with time on my hands, wandered the lounge areas looking for photographic opportunities. I often do that in search of raw material, elements, that I can use in creating conceptual stock photos. In this case there is an undefinable something that makes this bucolic scene a favorite of mine. The distant mountains, the warm colors, the plainly visible control tower, the aircraft rising into the sky in the distance; the elements all combine to create one of those slice of life pictures that leaves me with a sense of satisfaction and well being.


Creating Successful and Best Selling Concept Stock Photos In Airports

Airports have always been a great source of successful and even best selling stock photos for me. From airplanes to helicopters to military jets, from milling business people to travelers hunched over laptops to people on the go, airports are full of photographic opportunities. The trick is to be able to get those important images without having to hassle people with model releases and posing directions. For me, airports are particularly wonderful for getting the elements I need to create composited concept stock photos.


Airports and Concept icons

Airports are rife with conceptual and metaphoric icons. Gangways symbolize connections, aircraft symbolize opportunities and getting away from it all, baggage indicates...well...baggage! There are security symbols everywhere. The trappings of business are everywhere, the elements of speed and motion abound, and communication is a constant. Airports represent adventure,Freedom, adversity, opportunity and stress.
