If the idea of exploring the night sky excites you—whether it’s through the Northern Lights, deep sky imaging, mastering low-light photography, capturing the thrill of wild weather at night, or experiencing the awe of meteor showers and eclipses—I’d love for you to join me. Let’s embark on this adventure together and create something truly special. The night sky and its ever-changing moods have so much to offer, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
I’m Andy Keen—an adventurer, passionate photographer, and your guide to the wonders of the night sky. For over 15 years, I’ve been chasing the Aurora Borealis and exploring the vast cosmos, driven by a deep love for nature and its mysteries.
My work has taken me to extraordinary places and brought me into contact with wonderful people. I’ve had the honor of being featured in documentaries such as Die Sonne (Spiegel TV), Le Soleil : L’astre des astres (ARTE TV), The Sun (Curiosity Stream), and Little Stargazing (BBC TV). My photographs have appeared in publications like Sky & Telescope Magazine, Asian Photography, China Life, The Guardian, American Express Essentials, Daily Mail, BBC News magazine, and Wanderlust Magazine—to name but a few. These opportunities have allowed me to reach a broader audience, but what truly excites me is the chance to connect with people who share my love for the night sky in all its forms.
My workshops offer more than just photography lessons—they’re adventures where we capture the beauty of the Northern Lights, meteor showers, lightning storms, and other awe-inspiring events.
Join me on a journey where the night sky is our canvas. Whether it’s witnessing the magic of the Aurora in the Arctic or capturing the drama of a meteor shower, each experience is designed to connect you with the universe in a meaningful way.
“Andy Keen is an affable chap who I met whilst directing a film about the Aurora Borealis for BBC's Learning programme 'Little Stargazing'. We chose Andy to be our 'on-screen' guide due to his experience and local knowledge of the Northern Lights. He couldn't have been more helpful to us in our endeavours, setting up authentic indigenous outdoor experiences for the children and their fathers in addition to hunting out the lights. It was a real adventure and one of the best filming experiences I've had - which went on to be nominated for a BAFTA. Andy is a warm, approachable and friendly person who has a genuine enthusiasm for life and the natural world. He loves what he does, and it shows. Get ready for some jaw dropping moments that you won't forget in a hurry. Janine Finlay!"
