Carpe Noctem! - Seize the Night!
Welcome to the Carpe Noctem ! newsletter

 I am excited to share my first newsletter with you. I want us to celebrate and explore night and long exposure photography through what will likely be a no more frequent than quarterly update on news-worthy events such as workshop and tour announcements, gallery exhibits, educational content, publications, Q&A (your Q, my A) and other topics related to night and long exposure fine art photography (with some infrared, urban exploration and modeling thrown in for good measure).

I'll start by sharing an image of a Moai statue from a recent trip to Rapa Nui (Easter Island). The image was taken in the Rano Raraku quarry where they were made. I was happy to be part of this tour to learn about the culture and to portrait these wonderful, monumental statues during the day and at night. It was also my first time taking photos of the southern hemispheric Milky Way, with the Magellanic Clouds and the Southern Cross, a majestic experience. One down on the bucket list, but I think it calls for a repeat. Highly recommended!
Trivia : Some people have asked me how to pronounce my logo and website name. It's simple: we see LIGHT with our EYE, hence the play on words L-eye-T-scapes, [Light Scapes].

Aside from the launch of this newsletter, I have two more exciting activities to share with you:
Iceland Photo Tour
This is the official announcement of an upcoming photo-graphy tour to Iceland, to watch the aurora borealis, create daytime long exposure photos, capture ponies, explore a plethora of waterfalls, rugged seascapes, lagoons, and add light painting to our night scenes.

The tour will be from Sunday, September 22 to Sunday September 29, seven nights and 7.5 days full of exciting photography.

The tour is limited to a very small group of six participants, plus two organizers, a unique 3:1 ratio. Our van will take us to explore Iceland's very exciting south coast, the north-western Snæfellsjökull peninsula, the capital Reykjavik and the south-western Reykjanes peninsula.

To request a detailed overview and pricing, please click the button to the left. This tour is expected to fill up quickly.
Patreon Site
My last announcement is about the launch of my Patreon website , where you can support me and, in return, get unique content, early bird access, advise, articles, news, photo critiques, prints and other things. I will be creating content on a weekly basis and hope to interact with some of you on that page.
