Creating Emotional Connections Through Nightscape Photography


Brandt Ryder’s Secrets for Stunning Nightscape Photography
I love high dimensionality in my photography. I want to draw people into my images using techniques like focus stacking to create incredible depth of field. As such, most of my photos feature a prominent foreground and Im particularly fond of wildflowers and mountains as the star of my images. While landscape photography is what got me started it is night photography and astrophotography that truly defines my creative style. I love showing the beauty of the night sky paired with incredible foregrounds of locations rarely shot deep in the mountains of the intermountain west and beyond.
