Bio
Navid Baraty is a photographer and visual artist whose work explores the intersection of science, scale, and wonder. With a background in engineering, he brings both precision and curiosity to subjects ranging from remote desert landscapes to cities seen from above and the vastness of the night sky.
His work has taken him around the world, from collaborating with Apple on an art project in Chongqing, China, to photographing rocket launches at Cape Canaveral and presenting his images to students at a visual arts school in Bogotá, Colombia. Whether suspended high above a city or camped beneath the stars in the American Southwest, he is drawn to moments that reveal humanity’s place within something larger.
His images have appeared in publications and exhibitions worldwide and have been featured in large-scale installations, including airport exhibitions in France and New Zealand and a year-long installation in the New York City subway.
Navid is based in Seattle and is available for assignments worldwide.
