Benjamin Barakat
Astrophotographer & Educator
I’m Benjamin Barakat, an astrophotographer devoted to capturing the unseen beauty of the night sky. My work has been featured in Forbes, National Geographic, CNN, and BBC, and I’ve been honored as Milky Way Photographer of the Year for four consecutive years.
By day, I raise my three daughters; by night, I chase the stars. Through my workshops and guided tours, I invite others to see the world differently—to uncover the hidden wonders that have always been there, waiting in the dark.
Beyond photography, I research light pollution at Switzerland’s Sphinx Observatory (3571m), exploring its impact on our planet and our perception of the universe.
