Photographing the Night Sky – Bhavya Desai, Editor-in-Chief
Astrophotography is perhaps the purest reminder that photography is not merely about capturing what we see – it is about revealing what time, patience and curiosity allow us to witness. In an era driven by speed and instant gratification, pointing a lens toward the night sky becomes a deliberate act of resistance. It demands stillness. It rewards preparation. And above all, it reconnects us with a scale far beyond human urgency.
In this issue we’ve also featured a conversation with the renowned Marsel van Oosten — who underscores a powerful truth. That the night sky is not a separate genre, it is merely an extension of landscape storytelling. Astrophotography is less about chasing settings and more about cultivating patience.
The celestial calendar of 2026 offers photographers a rare invitation. Events like meteor showers, planetary gatherings and dark-sky windows that reward those willing to prepare.
We’ve also featured an article on Deep-space astrophotography, which pushes this philosophy even further. Honestly, astrophotography is an exercise in perspective. In my opinion it’s a vast universe, where a photographer becomes both observer and interpreter. The result is more than an image—it feels like a reminder that photography, at its best, invites us to slow down, look upward and rediscover wonder. Something that more of us should do even in Day-to-Day Life.
