The night-sky, made into prints for your wall
I’ve been looking up at the night-sky for as long as I can remember. I studied physics at university focusing on astronomy and astrophysics, then spent more than a decade working with data. At some point the two came together, and I now run my telescope rigs on every clear night the English weather allows! Every image is many gigabytes of raw data before it becomes a picture.
Each image in this shop takes a lot more than one click of the shutter. Most deep-sky objects are too faint to see with the naked eye, so I gather their light over many hours, often across several nights and over many weeks, sometimes months. My Cygnus Loop image alone is built from nearly 15 hours of exposures. Then comes the processing, slowly drawing out detail and colour that was there all along: wisps of hydrogen and oxygen gas, and the glowing remains of stars that exploded thousands of years ago.
I print every image myself on premium metallic gloss paper, which makes the stars really shine. I then mount each one by hand in a conservation-grade mount, ready to frame. There are two sizes: a 16"×20" mount with an A3 window and a 16"×12" mount with an A4 window. Lunar prints come in the smaller size only. For now I ship within the UK only, and every order is packed carefully and posted by me.
Each print is a piece of sky I’ve stood under myself. I hope one of them finds a place on your wall.
