Harun Mehmedinović is a Bosnian American director, screenwriter, photographer, professor and author.[1] He is a graduate of UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television and American Film Institute. His film In the Name of the Son premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and went on to win over thirty international awards including Shanghai Film Festival.[2]

Mehmedinović is an award winning photography and timelapse contributor to BBC Earth,[3] National Geographic,[4] Vogue Italia,[5] and has spoken at TED about his photography work.[6] His photograph of the cloud-inverted Grand Canyon was listed among the 2015 best travel photos of the year by National Geographic. [7] In 2016, Mehmedinović was on the BBC Earth Instagram team that won Webby Award for "Best Photography and Graphics." [8]

Harun has contributed timelapse videos for use in concerts and events, most notably by The Rolling Stones for their song "Moonlight Mile" during the ZIP CODE tour in 2015 and Cosmic Gate music video for the single "am2pm" in 2016. [9]

Mehmedinovic is an author of two photography books: "Seance," in 2013, with a foreword by Aleksandar Hemon and "Persona" in 2015.

Currently, Mehmedinovic and frequent photography partner Gavin Heffernan are collaborating on SKYGLOW,[10] a crowdfunded book and Blu Ray set to tackle the rising danger and damage of urban light pollution. The fundraising campaign generated a tremendous amount of publicity [11] and ended on May 9, 2015 as the fourth most successful Kickstarter campaign in the Photobooks category.[12] On December 5, 2015, Gavin and Harun gave a sold out talk about SKYGLOWPROJECT.COM at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, and previewed photos and video from their journeys.[13] SKYGLOW is expected to release Summer 2016.

He teaches photography and film at Northern Arizona University.[14]
