Highly Commended in the ‘Futures’ category at the Liverpool City Region Photo Awards 2025.
Exhibited at Open Eye Gallery, Mann Island, Liverpool from 27 November 2025 – 11 January 2026.
I’m delighted that images from my series ‘The Light Beyond Our Lights’ were exhibited at the Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool as part of the Liverpool City Region Photo Awards 2025 exhibition, from the launch night of Thursday 27 November 2025, and then open to the public until Sunday 11 January 2026.
The Light Beyond our Lights, seeks to re-introduce us to our night sky and highlight how much of it can become concealed by artificial light pollution from earth.
In our towns and cities, the night sky can feel drained of its majesty. That which should be visible as an immense starscape is reduced to meagre dots of light scattered sparsely across the sky. Science has shown this lack of true darkness impacts upon both nature and human health.
The Light Beyond Our Lights presents the Milky Way, aurora, noctilucent clouds and other night sky phenomena that can be hidden to us by artificial light pollution and encourages to keep our nights dark.
