Highly Commended at the Liverpool City Region Photo Awards 2025.
Exhibiting at the Open Eye Gallery, Mann Island, Liverpool from 27 November 2025 – 11 January 2026.
Delighted that images from my series ‘The Light Beyond Our Lights’ will be exhibiting at the Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool as part of the Liverpool City Region Photo Awards 2025 exhibition, launching on Thursday 27 November and then open to the public from Friday 28 November 2025 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.
Three of the images from the series are shown below. A further five are on display in the gallery.
Flamborough Head Aurora
Carr Mill Viaduct Starscape
Noctilucent Clouds from James Roby Way
