Deep Sky Astrophotography

Beneath the New Mexico Skies

Operating from the high-desert terrain of Las Cruces, New Mexico, my work is a pursuit of the light that defines our place in the universe. Since 2022, I have dedicated myself to the "Enchanted Cosmos"—capturing the ancient photons that have traversed the vacuum of space for millions of years before reaching my sensors.

Astrophotography is more than a technical discipline; it is an act of preservation. In an era of increasing light pollution, I look toward the Bortle 4 skies of the Southwest to document the ethereal structures of the deep sky.
