benjamin barakat

My name is Benjamin Barakat and I am an award-winning night sky photographer, featured in Forbes, National Geographic, CNN, BBC & many more.

Currently, I am a real estate photographer by day and running photography workshops by night. In addition, I run photography tours, taking people off the beaten track and into the depths of the unknown!

On top of that, I am a researcher at the highest observatory in Europe, the Sphinx Observatory in Switzerland sitting at an altitude of 3571m. There I research the development of light pollution!
