Baku Port

Baku Port, situated along the Caspian Sea, offers unique photography opportunities, especially at dawn and dusk when the light casts a magical glow over the industrial landscape and water. A highlight is the contrast between the ultramodern skyline of Baku, with the iconic Flame Towers, and the traditional vessels in the port, providing a juxtaposition of old versus new. The port area is undergoing significant development, aiming to become a major logistics and trade hub, which means its appearance is continuously evolving; capturing it now might give you a unique snapshot in time. The surrounding embankment area is perfect for panoramic shots of the city and seascapes. Be aware of restricted areas within the port; however, the nearby boulevard allows for unobstructed views and is a popular spot for capturing the essence of Baku’s maritime gateway. Consider experimenting with long exposures to capture the movement of the sea against the static cityscape.
