Claire Powell

Claire discovered her passion for travel photography in her forties after a career pivot from academia to grant writing gave her more flexibility. What began as documentation of church architecture for a nonprofit preservation project blossomed into a second career when her night sky photographs of historic churches went viral. Now, traveling with her husband of 30 years, she combines her love of history, architecture, and astronomy to showcase sacred spaces under starlight, believing that beauty exists in the intersection of human creation and cosmic wonder.
