About Knighty’s Photography
Australian Fine Art Landscape & Astrophotographer | Certified Professional Photographer (PPAQ)
Hello, I’m Dylan Knight—an Australian Fine Art Landscape and Astrophotographer passionate about capturing and sharing the beauty of our world. I recently earned my CCP accreditation from the Professional Photographers’ Association of Queensland, a recognition of the technical skill and professionalism I strive to bring to every project.
How It All Started
My photography journey began unexpectedly in late 2016. From the moment I first held a camera, I was driven by a desire to freeze moments in time. This spark truly ignited while exploring the awe-inspiring terrains of Utah, USA. Witnessing breathtaking sunrises and sunsets across desert canyons taught me the power of storytelling through a single image. From there, I developed a passion for astrophotography, embracing the challenge of capturing low-light and night-sky scenes.
Collaborations & Growth
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with photography brands such as NiSi, Sirui, Leofoto, and Nikon. These collaborations have deepened my understanding of gear, filters, and technique—allowing me to create images that blend artistry with technical precision.
In addition, I’m proud to have received Highly Commended recognitions in The Mono Awards (including 2024 and 2019). These honors encourage me to keep refining my craft and exploring new frontiers in both landscape and astro imagery.
Exploring Remote Corners of the Globe
Venturing into remote areas worldwide—trekking mountains, deserts, and coastlines—has fueled my respect for nature’s vastness. Whether experimenting with new camera systems or drones, each fresh perspective expands my creative horizons. I also value engaging with like-minded communities on social media, where we exchange ideas, feedback, and inspiration.
Preserving Timeless Moments
I believe every photograph is more than a picture—it’s an emotional narrative, a memory that transcends the moment of capture. This philosophy underpins my approach to fine art printing, where landscape and astro images become timeless works of art.
