Model building, photography and graphics R. Springnagel

Aviation Art – Limited Edition presents the connection between the art of model building, photography and graphic design. All aircraft are largely true-to-life replicas. The special illumination of “light painting photography” creates particularly realistic images of the model. The model is staged accordingly using a graphics program.
