NICK PENEV. SPACE CHASER.

I fell in love with space at the age of seven. Now, I seek to learn about it, capture it, and share it with the world.

With a decade of experience as a professional photographer and videographer, and a lifetime of studying space for fun, I’ve found the art of astrophotography is where my heart belongs.

Chasing sightings of the International Space Station, traveling the U.S. for shots of the Milky Way, and hunting for Solar System objects occupy my focus. When I’m not being a night owl, I’m shooting photos for businesses, ultramarathons, and nature.
