Carla Meeske
AWARD OF EXCELLENCE WINNER
SCOTTSDALE ARTISTS LEAGUE 2025 STATEWIDE EXHIBITION COMPETITION
Ghost Oak, Photo on Metal, 30x40 inches
As a nightscape photographer, I capture striking landscapes beneath the stars, from first twinkle to the Milky Way’s blaze. Using an astromodified camera and a star tracker to ensure sharpness, I may devote an entire night to a single image. The magic unfolds in post-processing, where I enhance colors to reveal the dramatic interplay between celestial and terrestrial beauty. Printed on semigloss aluminum, they are striking. My vision is to bring the night sky’s magic into our hearts, reminding us we stand at the center of the mystical bond between Earth and cosmos.
