Cool Hunting
Kevin Cooley by Jonah Samson
Kevin Cooley’s photographs of planes taking off and landing look like scenes from a sci-fi adventure filmed in suburban America. Made by using very long exposure times, his pictures show houses that glow in the twilight and streaks of explosive lights and sparks that illuminate the sky. It’s as if ray-guns are being fired from outer-space and landing in our backyards.
Also check out another series of his work, which was also shot at night in a Norwegian Town that is one of the world’s most remote places (only 800 miles from the North Pole). You can find this and more on his website.
