52 Assignments: Night Photography is a mission brief, a portfolio of photographic workshops, a personalised journal, and an inspirational guide to putting creativity back into your craft. It is filled with a year's worth of weekly commissions and concepts for conceiving and composing powerful photographs of the sky at night.

From capturing meteor showers and auroras to focusing on the landscape around us at night, all the assignments in this book have been written to inspire you to embrace the possibilities of your camera. Whether you are photographing interstellar objects or locations on Earth with the night sky as a backdrop, each assignment encourages you to capture the world around you with just your camera, a tripod, and your imagination.

Full of technical advice and professional tips, the book includes space for you to add your own notes, lists, and tech specs, creating a unique journal in which you can record the journey you have made with your imagery. Complete the assignments weekend by weekend over the course of a year or dip in every time you need to bring a new concept or creative approach to your monochromatic photography.

Author: Josh Dury, also known as the 'Starman', is an award-winning photographer, filmmaker, public speaker, and writer who specialises in capturing natural world subjects, including astrophotography, landscapes, and wildlife.
