Aaron Huey is an artist working across a broad range of traditional and emerging imaging techniques, from investigative photojournalism to AR/VR, photogrammetry, metaverse environments, and AI-driven collaborations. With over 40 feature stories for National Geographic magazine, including multiple covers, Huey’s practice has evolved toward post-lens photography and speculative visual futures that move beyond the boundaries of documentary work. His current focus includes using generative tools to reinterpret photographic archives while exploring authorship, memory, and visual truth in the age of AI. He is a three-time Stanford Fellow, including the Knight Journalism Fellowship, the d.school Media Experiments Fellowship, and most recently at the Starling Lab, where he focused on data integrity and media ethics. Across platforms and technologies, Huey continues to expand the role of the photographic object within immersive and computational spaces.
