What is ashes photography?
Ashes photography creates a high-resolution image of a small cremation-ashes sample using magnification, controlled lighting and a camera. Tiny mineral details can form colours and patterns reminiscent of the cosmos. The appearance depends on the sample and imaging technique.
Will my photograph look like a galaxy?
Some microscopic patterns can resemble space, but the result is individual. Colours and shapes vary with the sample and lighting. Our website images are conceptual illustrations, not actual photographs of customers’ ashes or a promise of a particular result.
What is included in the experience?
The £149 experience includes a collection kit, UK sample postage, one final high-resolution digital photograph, a Certificate of Authenticity and the return of the submitted sample. Your photograph and certificate are delivered digitally, ready to keep and share.
Do I need to send all of the ashes?
No. Only a small sample is requested, in the vial supplied with your kit. Keep the rest at home. The precise amount and preparation instructions will be confirmed during photography trials before launch.
Can I approve the photograph first?
The studio selects and checks your unique final photograph. There is no customer proof-approval stage. Its certificate links the finished image to the sample supplied for that order; it is not a DNA or biological identity test.
Can you photograph pet ashes?
The experience is also for beloved pets. Choose the pet journey and enter their name during ordering. The same identification and care process applies.
