Chapter 1: Starlit Beginnings
My creative journey began among the stars. Before stepping behind the camera, I worked as an astronomer at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the Space Telescope Science Institute, where I explored the wonders of the universe. This work taught me to appreciate the interplay of light, detail, and perspective—skills that continue to shape my photography and storytelling today.
Below are images I contributed to as part of the Hubble Heritage Team at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
