Solar Eclipse Footage & Imagery
I’ve spent 25 years chasing total solar eclipses and refining the techniques needed to capture the solar corona in detail — combining astronomical precision with cinematic production values. The result is a footage library that includes some of the highest-resolution imagery of the solar corona ever captured.
This material is available for licensing for documentary, broadcast, editorial, planetarium, and educational use.
