About Matt Costanza

I’m Matt Costanza, a Utah-based astrophotographer near Salt Lake City specializing in landscape astrophotography across the American West.

Inspired by my first view of the Milky Way at Cherry Springs State Park in Pennsylvania, USA my work blends science and art to capture the sense of wonder that eventually led me from Upstate New York to the dark skies of the American West.
