Hi! I am Cayetana Saiz.
I am a professional family portrait photographer from Spain.
I fell in love with capturing photos of these amazing objects in space.
But astrophotography can be complicated and seem overwhelming.
It took me a long time to master as I was learning from many different sources.
If i had it all in one place it would have saved me a lot of time.
So I created this course - to give you all you need in one package and teach you as quickly as possible!
I have won awards like NASAโs Astronomy Picture of the Day...
I have collaborated with the European Space Agency...
And I have had many other amazing opportunities to work with great people and brands
Learning astrophotography has added so much to my life and it can to yours too.
