About this piece
Seen from behind, a banking fighter jet cuts a strong diagonal through blue sky and luminous white vapor. The orange glow of its afterburner anchors the composition, contrasting with the cool metallic body and the softly rendered atmosphere.
The story
I followed the aircraft through the frame as its wings tilted and the sky seemed to turn around it. What held my attention was the small, fierce circle of orange against so much blue. White vapor traced the edges of the maneuver, briefly giving the air a visible shape. I wanted to hold that contrast: the weight of the machine, the lightness of its surroundings, and a turn suspended before it was complete.
