the night.

A closer look at the sky.
And how I photograph it.

My astrophotography begins with a choice: what do I want to notice in this part of the sky? Working with three telescope setups, I move between color and monochrome imaging to explore different ways of recording light. This portfolio brings the images together with their capture details. My aim is to make both the view and the work behind it visible.
