NIGHTSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY 101

Learn as I take you through the tips and tricks to help you take better nightscape photos and become a better nightscape photographer.

WORKSHOPS

My aim is to teach you what I know and help you to become a better photographer. To show you what’s possible when you’re outside shooting the night sky, and to see the look of joy on your face when you look on the back of your camera.

COLLECT THE PRINTS

Any of Mike's work is available for sale as a fine art print or canvas. View a sample in the online gallery or get in touch for a custom order.
