We are all made of stars.
The iron in our blood; the carbon in our cells; the calcium in our bones. All these elements were forged inside dying stars as heavier and heavier elements are fused together when stars lose their battle against gravity. When the star finally expires in natures most spectacular firework show - the Nova, these elements are spread throughout the universe to create life elsewhere. This is where we came from. Our own sun awaits this fate too, and it's death will fuel life elsewhere. The cycle repeats until entropy has used all the universe's energy.
We are all made of stars.
This series of images is a whimsical look at our species' long fascination with the heavens, and Man's desire to reach the stars... to go back to our beginnings... to go home.

Behind The Lens
Location
It was taken in Galloway, Scotland.Time
I honestly can't remember, but it was fully dark, with a rising moon behind the clouds.Lighting
It is a composite image, and the model was shot in the studio later, with Bowens Gemini flash heads to replicate the lighting of the landscape image.Equipment
Nikon D800 and Nikkor 24-70 f2.8G Bowens Gemini studio flash.Inspiration
Fascination with the stars, and a the concept of all of us being made from the very matter that comprises the universe.Editing
Apart from converting to black and white, almost none. Just the usual levels and curves.In my camera bag
Nikon D800, 50mm, 24-70, and a couple of SB900s.Feedback
Pin your ideas on a concept, not an image in your mind.
