And, nowadays, I think the fact that we don’t get to see it could be a huge part of its appeal. Maybe that’s how our ancestors spent their evenings. You could just hang out and look up at the stars.

And he touches on the larger question of why the night sky holds such a special appeal for photographers and viewers alike. -William Sawalich Here, in his own words, Woodworth explains the painstaking process behind the creation of a stunning astral landscape, using his image “Galactic Cave” as a guide. It’s where he was raised, and where since 2010 he has been drawn after dark to make images of auroras and the Milky Way, star-filled skies and moonlit landscapes. Pinpoint stars and the discernible Milky Way replaced abstract star trails, and a new genre of landscape photography, astrophotography, with the power to see into the far reaches of the galaxy, was born.Īdam Woodworth is a master of the art of landscape astrophotography, and although he travels inland to photograph the night sky, as well as traditional daytime landscapes, his focus is centered on the seacoast of Maine. In the case of nature photography, the advent of cameras capable of producing ultra-low-noise images at extremely high ISOs made possible a view of the heavens that photographers literally had never seen before-one that’s so much better than human eyes are able to resolve. From oil paint to color film, it’s inevitable in every art form that technological advancement leads to new modes of creative expression.
