Report on Jan Jasinski
By Stanley Crawford
My favorite photographer has to be Jan Jasinski. Jasinski
is a Polish/Canadian photographer that photographs aviation and landscapes.
Jasinski is currently twenty years old and is based out of Ottawa, Ontario and
has grown up his whole life in Canada.
He is a pilot and aircraft technician in addition to being a
photographer. Jasinski started photography at the fairly young age of eleven
and has essentially taught himself. This, to me, is very impressive considering
how difficult it is to master a DSLR camera and all the years of hard work it
takes.
Overall, my favorite aspect of Jasinski’s work is his
aviation photography. I especially love
his artistic editing style and incorporations of interesting backgrounds in
order to further bring the photo to life.
One of the primary reasons Jasinski is one of my favorite photographers
is that since I have began my own hobby of aviation photography I have used his
shots for inspiration as well as observing his editing process has allowed me
to improve my own. I personally love the angles that he is able to get and
almost every single one of his photos seems to be taken in perfect lighting! My
personal favorite shots of his are the shots of heavy aircraft departing,
photographed during golden hour. In my opinion they are very interesting and
beautiful to look at and they are my favorite because I absolutely love to
capture that perfect golden hour shot as well.
My
three favorite shots of his are all aviation shots, and while his landscapes
are still fantastic, I just prefer aviation photography. The first of my three
favorite shots is a shot of the massive Airbus A380, the largest passenger jet
in the world, taking off out of Los Angeles over a bunch of palm trees. This is
especially interesting to me because it is, of course, taken at Golden hour and
the palm trees underneath the airplane add a particularly dramatic effect to
the shot. This may end up being the one I attempt to replicate although most
likely not. My second favorite shot of
his is two Air Canada aircraft in Vancouver. The shot is set in the winter with
one of the aircraft sitting on the ground while the other one appears to land
directly over it in the background. What makes this particularly appealing is
that the entire background is a mountain range covered in snow, with a light
mist rolling off of it. I have taken a similar shot in Las Vegas back in
December that I would like to replicate in the editing process. My third favorite shot of his is a person
parachuting in the Swiss Alps. Again this is another very dramatic photo with another
solid background of snowcapped mountain ranges. All of these photographs would
be extremely hard to recreate however over time as I further develop in skill
level I hope to be able to capture similar shots.
Overall
I find Jasinski’s shots to be very impressive and his style has become an
inspiration for me in my photography!
