About the artist

Born and raised amidst the vibrant streets of Istanbul, I developed an early affinity for the city's dynamic atmosphere. The chaos, the harmony, and the stories embedded in the everyday lives of its inhabitants became the foundation of my photographic journey. Armed with a camera I began to explore the city's labyrinthine alleyways, honing my skills in observation and composition.

It wasn't long before I discovered the transformative power of black and white photography. Through this timeless medium, I found the ability to strip away distractions and focus on the raw emotions and narratives hidden within the subjects. Cobblestone streets, bustling bazaars, and candid interactions all came to life in shades of gray, revealing a side of Istanbul that often went unnoticed.

The heart of my work lies in my understanding of humanity. The lens captures not only faces but the essence of emotions – the wrinkles that tell stories, the laughter that transcends language, and the moments of solitude that connect us all. The images serve as a mirror, reflecting the universal experiences that bind us together, regardless of cultural backgrounds.
