Talking about Africa, photography, and storytelling—with my framed canvas prints setting the scene behind me. Honoured to be invited by Lionstudiosframing to judge the local print exhibition. So much talent and heart from our local photographers. Moments like these remind me why we do what we do.

What is it about the stars that makes you feel curious the most?

I love that. Indeed.. There’s something special about those quiet nights away from city lights, it really does make you feel alive and connected to it all. 😊

The morning light and mist capture that peaceful fall atmosphere beautifully. Mist over the river and those warm autumn tones are just perfect!

Love how the fiery tones melt into the deep blues. Feels like nature showing off its best palette! Perfect timing, Jon 👏

I can see why! That gold is just hypnotic. Makes me want to try a similar shot. What shutter speed did you use?

Different nights. Different places. One same sky full of wonder.
First — a peaceful new moon night camping on a farm with my wife.
Second — Crowdy Head Lighthouse, standing tall since 1878, beneath the same endless stars.

Does the night sky make you feel calm or curious?

Thanks, Lorraine. Couldn’t agree more — nature has a way of grounding us, doesn’t it? Capturing emotion and connection through nature is exactly what inspires me too. ☺️🙌
