I'm excited to share the BBC Radio Documentary I had the privilege of presenting, "Licence to Operate a Space Object". The program focuses on a subject close to my heart: the night sky and the importance of preserving darkness. bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0khf5l…

Well, I’ve been pretty quiet on the old Twitter but with good reason! I’ve been very hard at work on my new website which is now live! I’d love to invite you to throw the site up on your biggest monitor, pour yourself a mug of tea and take a tour through my photography journey!

I love this eclipse shot from Alan

In the hustle of the past month trying to put the final touches on @natlandawards, I somehow found time to edit my photographs from my 11-day Colorado fall color trip. I just released those images if you want to take a peek 👀 Cheers! mattpaynephotography.com/gal…
