Runway Visitor Park: Capturing the Spirit of Aviation

Project Details

Working with Manchester Airport Group’s Runway Visitor Park team, I captured a series of dynamic images that celebrated both the grandeur of historical aircraft and the candid, unpredictable moments of joy that only children can bring. Navigating the spontaneous nature of my young subjects, I was able to craft a visual narrative that brought to life the excitement and wonder of aviation. My lens captured not just the static beauty of retired airliners, but the animated delight of the children as they explored these titans of the sky, resulting in a collection that resonates with authenticity and nostalgic charm.
