Airport Pictures

There is no greater symbol of travel than pictures of airports. We use airplane motifs and images to represent leaving town, whether it’s for business travel or for pleasure. But the beauty of airport pictures doesn’t end with the optimistic feeling of an adventure ahead. Airport images represent all sorts of experiences, adventures, and emotions.

On one hand, airport pictures can illustrate total anonymity. Just picture people of all ages rushing to connections and touching down in any location for just a fleeting moment -- with no ties to those around them. Airport photos can also illustrate stress or disappointment. Mixed connections, heartbreaking goodbyes, or lonely excursions can make large airport hangars feel isolating and hollow. On the other hand, airport pictures can symbolize total joy and excitement. They can feature friends reconnecting and having conversations, the anticipation of a relaxing beach getaway, or successful business meetings being celebrated over a beer.

When choosing an airport pic, start by deciding what sort of aesthetic you’re hoping to convey. Do you want to emphasize the moodiness of a hangar and tarmac under a grey sky? Or do you want to show excitement among family members as they escape on vacation? Consider too, whether airports and planes are the only form of transportation you want to include.
