Post 13: Photographer Babak Tafreshi

One of the things that are not normally in the limelight of photography is night-time photography.
Night-time photography is its own beast within itself, having to calculate the shutter speed and aperture
to make sure that there is enough exposure in the photo. However, when a night photo has properly
exposed the image that is captured is will undoubtedly not only be unique but will also show the magical
qualities of a nighttime landscape.

Babak Tafreshi is a photographer/science journalist who specializes in night-time photography and
video. He began his work of photographing the night sky when he was a teenager and has since
transformed it into not only a life long passion but a career. Tafreshi works with National Geographic,
Sky & Telescope magazine, the European Southern Observatory, among others. His work is significant
not only because it focuses on the night sky, but he uses the night sky, “to bridge Earth and sky, art and
science, cultures and time”.
