Piece description from the artist
Everything that is awesome about Florida in a single shot: a sunrise, palm tree, and rocket launch.
August 8th, 2019’s Atlas V launch of the AEHF 5 mission will provide highly secure military communications abilities. This was one of the most spectacular launches that I have ever seen. My plan was to blend the launch photo in with some stars, but it got delayed by about 30 minutes. This delay led to an amazing time to launch (~30 mins pre-sunrise). This meant that when the rocket rose through the sky, it was illuminated by the rising sun on the horizon.
Steven Madow was born and raised in Baltimore, MD and moved to Orlando, FL in 2007. He lives in the College Park neighborhood with his wife and puppy.
While Madow has been interested in visual media for fifteen years, his love for photography specifically took off around 2014 with a need for a “real camera” to capture rocket launches and the joy of flying drones.
His work has involved projects with Google, Orlando City, Visit Orlando, the Orlando Economic Partnership, Creative Village, and many others. Orlando Weekly recently said about his work that this Orlando based photographer's colorfully bright and vibrant pictures will straight up make you say 'Wow’ .
