Education:
2015: BA Journalism, Baku Slavic University  


Born and raised in the industrial city, of Sumgait, Nurlan grew up with many varied career ambitions but eventually settled on photography in 2012, after bachelor's in traditional methods of journalism.

Nurlan's vivid, sometimes surreal photography explores his position in the world he exists in. Though Babazada initially worked through the prism of social documentary, he soon turned his strong vision inward, creating visual journals of his life and personal relationships as a means to find his own logic, as well as documented Sumgait's transition from the industrial revolution to new manufacturing processes.

in 2014, Nurlan alongside fellow photographer Ali Alivarzada, founded and still solely leading the photography educational platform İşıqla çəkirəm (eng: filming with a light). The online based platform manifests itself through various social media posts, as well as hosting theoretical and practical workshops by leading regional photographers.
