Where can you see this view?
y fiancee’s family have a
holiday home in Nice, so
we fly down there quite a
lot with Norwegian from
Stockholm. In 2010, I just
noticed the incredible views out of the
window and wanted to photograph them.
I’m a photographer, and always travel with
my camera and telephoto lens.
“
I asked the air stewardess if I could
go to first class to take some pictures and
she just said go ahead. I got this shot of
the Matterhorn in the French Alps that
first time. I try to clean the windows from
the inside, because they can be dirty,
and have to shoot with a high ISO [which
lessens the sharpness to allow more light],
but that actually gives the pictures a
slightly vintage, grainy feel.
“
I’ve shot on the same route five or six
times since. I always try and fly early in the
morning or late in the afternoon, when
the light’s best and you get those shadows
over the mountains. I get ready about
an hour into the flight, as the landscape
changes and you go over the French Alps
–
I’ve seen the Matterhorn every time,
though sometimes it’s further away. The
flight crew have let me do it every time
with a smile.
“
I had a solo exhibition of the shots
in Stockholm last October – I was pretty
pleased to get my first solo show from
shots I’d taken out the window of a plane.”
