Nico Carver

Hey! I’m Nico Carver, an astrophotographer with a deep passion for capturing the wonders of the cosmos. My journey into astrophotography began in 2014 with a life-changing trip to Iceland, where I captured my first images of the Aurora Borealis. Seeing the camera reveal hidden colors and details ignited my curiosity, and before long, I was chasing the Milky Way across remote landscapes. But it wasn’t until I started deep-sky astrophotography in 2015 that I found my true passion—photographing the intricate structures of nebulae and galaxies that exist far beyond what the naked eye can see.

My background is in filmmaking, but my expertise in astrophotography comes from years of hands-on experimentation, extensive research, and learning from fellow photographers. Since 2019, I’ve dedicated much of my time to sharing my knowledge through my YouTube channel, helping others refine their deep-sky imaging skills. My approach is both technical and artistic—I focus not only on capturing data but also on bringing out the creative potential in every image.

One of my biggest joys is seeing others gain confidence in their craft. I’m passionate about making astrophotography more approachable, offering structured yet flexible guidance to help photographers develop their own workflow while fostering creativity and problem-solving. I believe astrophotography is about more than just taking pictures—it’s about telling a story with the cosmos as your subject.

Outside of astrophotography, I’m an avid traveler, having lived in Indonesia for a year and visited over 20 countries. I also love cooking, hiking, and film. But at the end of the day, my greatest passion remains uncovering the hidden beauty of the universe and helping others do the same. Let’s dive deep into the cosmos and create something amazing together!
