I am an astronomy, landscape and nocturnal cityscape photographer and I offer fine art images to international art collectors. My photographs celebrate the wonder that the night hours can offer, creating fascination in the viewer in discovering how much light there is in the darkness. Through my work I explore darkness, always seeking to discover more, going beyond what can be seen, pushing the boundaries of mystery and the dark. A recurring theme is light pollution, which if present gives captivating urban scenarios, but if it is absent it gives astral visions. Focusing on both the intimate and the grand, my goal is to evoke a sense of awe and reflection in viewers. My photographs seek to provide an escape, helping people recapture their dreamscapes and providing a unique and powerful perspective on the everyday. I explore our relationship with the universe, mysterious forces and even the fear of darkness itself: Nyctophobia. I explore the clash between light and dark, exposing the juxtaposition between the light pollution emitted by the city skyscraper and the stillness of the night.
