FAQs

Q. Are your images real or fake?

A. All images are real photographs of real New Zealand locations.
No AI-generated skies. No fake mountains. No stock composites.

Some images use standard photography techniques like long exposure, image stacking, or tracked night photography to capture more detail and colour than the human eye can see in the dark. In some cases, foreground and sky exposures are blended to create a natural, high-quality final image — exactly as the scene appeared at the time.

What you’re seeing is a faithful representation of real moments, captured with professional equipment and careful planning.

Every alignment — Milky Way, moonrise, or star field — is planned and captured on location using astronomy planning tools, not digitally fabricated.
