I've just returned from a trip that included some of the world's newest, most visually exciting airports. Two of these are the new Beijing and Bangkok airports. Rainer's portfolio of the Bangkok airport is exceptional and made all the more awesome when you see and understand the challenges he had to overcome. Thierry is not alone in considering him among the world's top architectural photographers.
Best wishes,
Fred
I've been trough the Bangkok airport a few times now and I can assure you that Rainer did wonders with the photography.
It certainly isn't as good looking as on his fabulous images!
Well done Rainer!
Cheers,

a year before the opening of beijing i was asked to realize a similar shoot there than i did in bangkok, but permits have not been granted by government. never understood completely why ... maybe its china too.Agreed!
After a few months of use, this airport looks already very old, and in fact it was NEVER even finished and "clean": tiles broken/stained everywhere, chrome handrails/decoration stained with fingerprints/stains everywhere, spider webs, lack of maintenance visible all over the structures, etc ...: It's hurting the eyes, when seeing such (and I see it often) for all those seeing this "new" airport live, and one can only wonder how the images came out that perfect.
When comparing the new Beijing airport, one can see the differences in the finish: all's clean, perfect, finished, and looks great. A pity that Rainer did not shoot this one!
