2024 Nightscaper Photo Conference

September 26 to 29 ▪ Kanab, Utah

Shoot for the Stars

 

The Nightscaper Photo Conference is an in-person event devoted to astro-landscape photographers, scientists, artists and activists who wish to enjoy and preserve the night skies.

This fourth conference brings together some of the most impactful community members to share ideas, to work with peers to craft images, and to hone techniques for responsibly studying and documenting the quiet beauty of dark skies.

It’s about you

This conference features hand-picked speakers from the Nightscaper community, the sciences, the arts, conservation groups and more. Each person has craft, ideas and passion to share so that you can level up your knowledge and skills.

 

It’s in the heart of dark skies

Kanab, Utah, is central to so many destinations ideal for making night photography and studying dark skies. The conference has only daytime activities (by design!) so you can go out to explore and shoot at night.

 

This year’s conference will feature:

  • 4 days of sessions and networking

  • 20 speakers, many presenting twice

  • 40+ 1-hour classes

  • peer-led discussion panels

  • lots of networking and community

  • 4 lunches and 1 dinner
