Nightscapes & Lightwork

Nighttime view of a church illuminated with blue and purple lights, surrounded by trees and street lamps

Nocternal Artist Photography

This was my first photography name, although it did not mean that I took night pictures, but more on the lines of the fact that I was a night owl, representing my insomnia and my love of art. I developed my brand in 2007 whilst studying fine art at the University of Derby.

I also left the spelling error in, to allow my name to stand out in the crowd and be my authentic self as a person with dyslexia. Little did I know that over the last 15 years, I’d have people telling me about my spelling errors.

Nightscapes are taken at sunset and night, and light work is playing with light (often flash lights)
