Behind the work
Patience, precision, and a reason to look closer.
Sam Groth is an astrophotographer based in western Colorado. His aim is to honor God by bringing overlooked details into view and offering a new perspective on familiar landscapes.
Fieldwork in the San Juan MountainsThe method
Planning is part of the photograph.
Sam's computer science degree from the University of Illinois and years of experience coding, mentoring, and leading technology teams shape a highly technical approach to image-making.
Equipment knowledge, careful location planning, and detailed processing make it possible to reveal night-sky scenes that the eye can easily miss. That precision is paired with the willingness to return until light, landscape, and timing finally align.
