SKYGLOW is an ongoing crowdfunded project spanning 150,000 miles and 3,000,000 pictures taken, which explores North America’s remaining magnificent night skies and the grave threat of light pollution to our fragile environment. A collaboration of renowned timelapse photographers Gavin Heffernan and Harun Mehmedinovic, SKYGLOW journeys through the history and mythology of celestial observation, the proliferation of electrical outdoor lighting that spurred the rise of the phenomena known as "skyglow,” and the Dark Sky Movement that's fighting to reclaim the night skies. Both a hardcover photo book, an ongoing short video series, and an upcoming documentary feature film, SKYGLOW has been featured by rock legends The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, BBC Earth, National Geographic, Time, Sierra Club, National Park Service, and over 1000 media outlets, SKYGLOW images and videos have been seen by over half a billion people.
“Just how Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking brought deeper understanding of the cosmos, Heffernan and Mehmedinovic are raising awareness about the damage caused by ever increasing light pollution. Their magical timelapse photography just might do the trick.”
SKYGLOW has been featured at major concerts, including THE ROLLING STONES
