Vincent is a professional aurora photographer and Ph.D. student studying the aurora. Growing up in Maplewood, Minnesota, Vincent began chasing auroras when he was 16 years old. Receiving his B.S. Physics from the University of North Dakota in 2022, he brought his passion for aurora chasing to North Dakota and colloquially earned the name "The Aurora Guy." Now, he is studying the aurora as a Space Physics Ph.D. student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and running an aurora tour company. His work has been featured on Good Morning America, ABC World News, FOX Weather, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and more! Vincent specializes in aurora timelapse photography and real-time video. Combining technical and scientific expertise, Vincent has created stunning timelapse movies from his arctic adventures—he has spent months in northern locations such as Churchill, Manitoba, Venetie, Iceland, and Fort Yukon aurora chasing and perfecting his craft. Aside from photography, Vincent has extensive knowledge of how to predict the aurora and interpret space weather data. He is not only a student at UAF but also completing a graduate certificate in space weather science at Millersville University and serving on the White House's Space Weather Advisory Group, the only federal advisory committee focusing on space weather topics.

Marc is a landscape astrophotographer based in Central Minnesota, USA. Recently selected for the Milky Way Photographer of the Year – 7th Edition (2024) and Northern Lights Photographer of the Year – 8th Edition (2025), he is a photographer who focuses on the night sky and the wild landscapes that sit beneath it. Whether it’s an aurora storm over the Arctic, the Milky Way stretched across desert rock, a moonlit ridge line in the mountains, or the fleeting drama of a total solar eclipse, Marc is drawn to moments where natural light and land meet in powerful, often unpredictable ways. Over the years, he has traveled extensively in pursuit of these scenes, always aiming to capture what’s real, not just what looks good online. His goal is to create images that are clean, high-resolution, and grounded in the actual experience of being there. Coming from a background in photography and printmaking, Marc approaches every image with attention to both field technique and final presentation. He avoids the artificial look that dominates much of today’s digital work, prioritizing clarity, subtlety, and accuracy instead. More interested in results than hype, he shares what he learns so others can build on it rather than starting from scratch. Marc’s work has been featured by National Geographic, Forbes, The Weather Channel, EarthSky, DailyMail, DP Review, and more. He has also led photography workshops in a wide range of environments from remote deserts to icy mountain passes helping photographers refine their skills in real-world conditions. Ultimately, Marc is not interested in turning nature into spectacle. His goal is to photograph these places as they are – still, quiet, wild – and create images that hold up over time.
