Lights in the night

Long exposure shot from the window of a 747 cargo plane, looking at a glow of aurora to the far north and the shimmer of a thousand stars. The wing is illuminated red by the flashing beacon light on top of the fuselage, creating an interesting contrast with the sky beyond.

About Artist

Christiaan Van Heijst

Born and raised in The Netherlands in 1983, I was fascinated by natural light in all its forms since a young age. Now working as a pilot, flying all over the world, I always have my camera with me to immortalize the world around me, be it from the cockpit or at destinations that I am fortunate to visit. Capturing moments that have never been seen before and will never be seen again with eye for light, composition and mood.
