Photo exhibition by Philippe Jacquot

Exhibition by Artist Photographer, Philippe Jacquot

Astronomy has been a passion of mine since 1998. I began by traveling the globe as an eclipse chaser, in order to witness that rare astronomical event, the eclipse. Eventually, I became interested in documenting the majesty of space, and began taking photographs capturing the infinite wonders of the night sky. My photographs are memories of my observations. I try to portray the night sky as it is viewed by the naked eye.

In addition, I organise astronomy courses for the public. I regularly deliver speeches and offer night observation sessions across the Rhône-Alpes region of France. I plan group excursions for people who share the same passion for eclipse watching. I am currently chairman of the astronomy club Tycho Brahe, located in Annecy. I share my experience of nightscapes through workshops around Lake Annecy and in Tenerife.
