Piece description from the artist
Planning pays off. I theorized this shot several months ago, calculated the best dates for the moon to rise from behind Rocco’s Tacos using Photographers Ephemeris and Photopills, and finally was able to shoot it last night. This is a single frame (no compositing). I was lucky enough to grab a plane passing in front of the moon (which is another thing I’ve been wanting to capture for a while). The moon rose at the same time as the sun was setting, which led to the beautiful colors. While the moon appeared huge in the sky, the natural effect of lens compression really helps make it appear even larger in this frame.
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’ .
