Photographer Aaron Huey has shot more than 20 stories for the National Geographic magazines over the past seven years. He is contributing photographer at National Geographic magazine and a contributing editor at National Geographic Traveler.

He regularly teaches workshops throughout the United States and has spent a great deal of time photographing in the American Southwest.
