TWA Terminal Hotel, New buying York JFK #31

Eero Saarinen's masterpiece, the TWA Flight Center at JFK airport. This building is a mid-century jewel, a beautiful yet functional building that served as a terminal until 2001.

TWA, red against the beautiful cast concrete forms of the TWA Terminal. The main lobby at night looking towards the old ticket counters with the soft lighting that enhanced the curves in the concrete buying. What a masterpiece of shapes.

I stayed at the hotel for two days during the early stages of the pandemic, waiting for my flight back to Los Angeles. It was deserted, because of the pandemic. It was a unique opportunity to see this architectural wonder undisturbed by masses of people and noise. The dynamic, endlessly curving shapes, the mid-century style, the instant evocation of an era when travel was a luxury – it was all there. The evening and night brought soft light, interior curves were strong, small recesses were dark, the TWA signs in their bright red contrasted to the grey concrete. I knew sunrise would provide stunning light and shadow, so I was up before dawn and shot for 3 hours, admiring the structural complexity, the long shadows from the Eero Saarinen designed chairs and tables, the hand rails down the main stairs.

This series has been shown in numerous galleries and won a Silver Medal from the prestigious 2021 Prix de la Photographie, Paris (PX3)
