The workflow behind my own night photography.

I started photographing the night sky in 2007, mostly by trial and error out in the cold and the dark. Over the years I worked out a routine that made my results far more consistent, from picking the right night and location to the final adjustments in Photoshop.

This masterclass is that routine, written down. My photography has been featured by BBC, The Telegraph, Nikon, Adobe, and Business Insider, and this is the same process I still use on my own shoots.
