I'm Abdul, an astrophotographer, traveler and independent artist. I chase the world's darkest skies and bring them home as fine art prints, photo books and group trips.

The Night Sky

Iconic Astrophotography

I travel to the places with the darkest skies on Earth, photographing them and learning how various cultures connect to the same night sky. These are signature frames from World's Darkest Skies. Every print is one frame from a much longer story. Follow the full series on Patreon.
