National Geographic Masters: Babak Tafreshi

A collection of photography from National Geographic photographer Babak Tafreshi.

When Tafreshi was 13 years old, growing up in Tehran, Iran, a neighbor lent him a telescope to look at the moon. It was a life-changing moment for the teenager and the start of a love affair with the night sky. This stunning, lyrical collection of photographs—taken across continents—showcases Tafreshi’s incomparable skill in capturing the many beauties of the natural night.
