Astrophotography is about the interactions between humanity and the universe, and it can be a tool to engage the general public in science and astronomy. The magic of the Irish outdoors is undeniable, with many landscape photographers going out of their way to experience the beautiful sights that this Island has dreamed up for us. Whether that means, staying up all night, hiking up a mountain, waking up before the crack of dawn, or standing out for hours in the pouring rain in the hopes that a glimpse of sunlight will pierce through, creators are truly made of sterner stuff. None more so than photographer Patryk Sadowski.

Born in Poland, but currently based in Derry his goal as a photographer is to create compelling images, the final result has seen Patryk capture some of the most exquisite night photos from Ireland in the digital world. His powerful, vibrant tones have been expertly color graded – and we can’t help but fall in love with the magnificent night vistas he shares.

Patrick has received lots of awards and acolades for his photographic images and his ‘Fanad Head – Aurora 2024’, has been selected as a winning image in the 2024 Reach for the Stars astrophotography competition, run by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS)
