The Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

After months of waiting for Andromeda to rise into a good position in the sky, it was finally time — and it did not disappoint. Captured from Quairading using the Seestar S30, this image is the result of 204 ten-second exposures, stacked and processed with GraXpert and Siril.

Andromeda is our nearest major galactic neighbour — about 2.5 million light-years away — and the largest galaxy in our local group. Seeing its spiral arms and dust lanes come to life during editing was incredible. The Seestar continues to impress with just how much detail it can pull from such faint objects.

During a shoot, I always feel that the most important thing is the connection the Photographer and the Model build between each other. The more you connect, the more is expressed in the resulting images. Its always great to have complex, layered styling, and an elabourate environment, but thats why I love working with so much. Even in the most mundane environments, she manages kick everything up a notch. And I do feel, to some extent, if she didnt trust me as a Photographer, and conect with me as a person, then most of that wouldnt be possible. So treat your models with respect! It will always show through in your images.

What an amazing shoot we had with stunning Taïs Huit, and her very regal hairless cat Dobby. We had some great fun helping Dobby get past his camera-shyness, and some spectacular shots to show for it.
