I love that idea – it’s like turning the night sky into a visual story. I’d start by picking a clear night, then photograph each star cluster separately, making sure the exposure matches so the brightest don’t drown the dimmer ones. Then I’d line them up in a grid that mirrors their real positions, maybe adding a subtle color gradient to suggest depth. If we add a faint background of clouds, it gives the whole thing a dreamlike touch. It’s a bit of a puzzle, but the result feels like a miniature galaxy on display.

Sounds like a perfect companion for the shoot—just jot down the vibe you’re feeling with each shot and you’ll have a clear plan when you lay them out. That way the grid itself becomes a story, not just a collection of images.
