Josef Hoflehner


Josef Hoflehner is an Austrian photographer known for his dramatic black-and-white landscape and subtle color images. He is also known for his "Jet Airliner" series—mostly high-key photographs of people on Maho Beach on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten, overshadowed by low-flying passenger planes taking off and landing at Princess [Juliana International Airport]. He was voted Nature Photographer of the Year 2007, and named as one of "Austria's 10 Best Contemporary Artists" in 2014.
