Alejandro Aguilera
"I'm yes a photographer, and an airliner too."
"I started flying on 1981 and without thinking I also started to take photos from the cockpit, as a photographer I started with group shows on 1989."
"Then on 1997 I got an invitation for my first solo show and for the first time I realized that I had a great collection of aerials, so for this first solo I chose only aerial photos and since then I was associated with that. Then I realized that my aerials were very different due the great altitude I used to photograph between 20,000 to 40,000 ft."
"Since I started flying airline planes I always thought, when looking through my window, that I had to share what I sow with others. And as I preferred abstract and minimalism, my sharing is from that point of view, so I use to fly some regions and see it from above, when I get this images on my mind I started to shoot, I also do a lot of clouds, thats the other side of my work. During my flights I use to stare at my window and I´m always looking for some parts of the landscape, that could configure an image of abstract, so when I got one, next time I fly the same route I shoot what I sow, most of the time I already have a project in mind and it takes me between 1 and 2 years to complete a collection of around 20 images."
"I don´t modified my photos, it´s full frame and only curves and level correction, this is necessary due airplane cockpit´s thick windows."
