I began this project by chance in 2016 when I needed to create planets for backdrops on another project at the time. Then it took off from there, initially influenced by the idea of making art every day with a project I could post to Instagram.  

I aimed to make/photograph a thousand exoplanets, but I’ve only photographed just over 700 …with 300 to go. Can I do it before the 10-year mark? I’ve made way more than a thousand, though, but many are duds (failed experiments).  I didn’t think this was going to take this long.. I thought wrong! I guess I was too ambitious. 

This book is for the curious, art collectors, miniature enthusiasts, space lovers, scientists, and inquisitive minds.  It’s a journal, a catalogue, and a journey through the process.  This project includes collaborations, behind the scenes, and an interview with one of the top exoplanet scientists in the world: Sara Seager. It’s 185 pages of carefully selected images. Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way I could not have done this without you!
