How many people can say they chase the Milky Way for work?! To bring outer space to REAL life for our newest starry-inspired collection, we asked Astrophotographer, Justin Baltz, to work his magic on some galactic backdrops to use in our latest photoshoot. Justin took us behind the scenes on a very dark night to give us a look into his life shooting the stars. Find out more about the man behind the camera!

Favorite constellation? It’s always been the Big Dipper, for some reason it always kind of soothes my soul. As of the last 3 years, I’d have to say Scorpius, because it’s part of the Milky Way.

Favorite time of year to shoot? Earlier season—starting in March.

What’s next for you? I’ve been looking into telescopes. It’s mind boggling how fast the technology is moving. I’m so glad to be a part of it and start learning more about deep space.
