Hi, I’m Axel — founder and creative director of Skylit Studio. If you’ve ever emailed us, DM’d us, or placed an order, chances are you’ve already spoken to me.
My journey with the stars began long before Skylit Studio. I still remember getting the iPhone 5 back in like 2013 – the camera felt revolutionary at the time. One clear night, while relaxing in my garden chair, I pointed it up at the sky and tried to capture the stars. The photo came out rather dark and boring. But then I started playing with the contrast, brightness, and exposure – and suddenly, little glimmers appeared. I thought I’d uncovered something magical. Only later did I realise I’d accidentally created digital artefacts. But in that moment, it felt like I had brought stars to life on screen – and something about that never left me.
I even shared that very photo on Instagram back then:
Years later, that fascination with the night sky became Skylit Studio — a way to help others hold onto their most meaningful moments. Whether it’s a wedding night or the birth of a child, I believe those memories deserve more than a photo on your phone. They deserve a place on your wall.
From selecting the paper to handing off parcels to the courier, I oversee every step. No outsourcing. Because putting your name behind your work means something.
We don’t just chart the skies — we celebrate the stories written beneath them. Your stories.
THE SKYLIT STUDIO
Every print made and shipped from here — Manchester, UK.
Our studio sits inside a house built in 1841 — solid brickwork, original woodwork, and nearly two centuries of stories in its walls.
When I first walked through it, the place felt right. Like our star maps, it holds onto moments. It’s where every Skylit piece is now made — old house, night sky, one roof.
