People say that Josef Hoflehner is one of the few photographers able to transform landscape into art. Austrian, 55ish, Josef has passed a lifetime taking photos of lakes, deserts, waterfalls and green landscape covered in fog.

The new series called Jet Airliner, shows planes scraping the earth with people around. Boeing 747 that fly over beaches or highways, airbuses that look like they are going to touch the heads of people or of girls in their bikinis in the water. And all  religiously photographed in B&W.
