I’ve been working with Bristol Museum and Art Gallery on an immersive astrophotography exhibition, that will be showing on 30 and 31 January 2026.
Update: the initial dates have completely sold out, so new ones have been opened for 6 and 7 March 2026.
I was interviewed about the exhibition, and urban astrophotography in general, by Joe Sims on BBC Radio Bristol:

Immersed in Starlight transforms the museum’s grand interior into a canvas where distant nebulae, star clusters and galaxies are projected. Take your seat and see the Bristol sky as never before, revealed in clarity and depth normally hidden from view by city lights.
The cosmic vistas on display are real images taken from central Bristol by Lee Pullen, the Urban Astrophotographer. The culmination of years of patient work collecting faint starlight from within the city’s glow, they unfold here with gentle motion that reveals their shifting structures and hidden details.
An immersive soundscape by Sam Whitfield from Cyan Music has been especially composed in conversation with the images, so sound and starlight rise together, shaping the space and taking the audience on a journey through light and time.
The event includes an introduction from Lee Pullen, who explains the challenges of urban astrophotography and how he fuses art with science to reveal a hidden universe.
