Hi, I’m Jason. Like many photographers, I started astrophotography feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the technical side of shooting at night.

After 27 years in the US Marine Corps, I found something unexpected under Australia’s dark skies, a sense of creativity, calm, and purpose.

What began as a personal escape became a passion that led to winning the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year (Astrophotography Category) in 2022 and 2023.

Today I help photographers skip years of trial and error.

Through hands-on astrophotography workshops and one-on-one mentoring, I guide you step-by-step so you can confidently photograph the stars and create images you once thought were impossible.

If you’ve ever looked up at the night sky and wished you could capture it…

I’d love to show you how.

    "Great weekend, learnt heaps, and pushed my astro technique further than I thought. Obvioulsy I was a little behind in the PS stuff, and working with 4 others, all at different levels cant be easy from your perspective, so I appreciated the video's youve supplied already, and of course the one on one editing tutorial is amazing. So, thanks again, It was great to meet you. If you want me to write a review for your website etc, let me know, I'll gladly put something together."
