I was born in Istanbul in 1991. I have been interested in photography since 2017. My area of interest in photography is life itself. I think photography means people. From children to the elderly, from girls to men, it means life. For example, children.. The streets are colored with them. Children are the color of life.. The elderly.. Every wrinkle on their faces tells a different experience.. Or feed sellers, shoe shiners, paper collectors, fishermen, calloused hands, dirty and rusty faces, etc.. They are also labor, sweat, and bread money. The difference between looking and seeing does not come from color blindness, but from a lack of emotion. They are the real life that we pass by every day but do not see. They are life itself. As Ara Güler said, “Life is the story of little men. The life of the Queen of England is worthless.”

I like working in black and white and documentary style. I am currently working on ongoing projects related to this. Photography has become more than a passion for me. I think it is a wonderful feeling to record life with the magic of black and white and to create a product that will be passed on to future generations. And that is what I am trying to achieve. I am trying to touch hearts, to be a guest in hearts.

I continue my readings and researches to improve myself constantly, with the awareness that photography is not just about pressing the shutter. I follow with interest the photographs of artists who are devoted to the art of photography, such as Eugene Smith, Sebastiao Salgado, Ara Güler. My photographs have been deemed worthy of exhibition in various mixed exhibitions in Turkey and abroad at Blankwall Gallery and Chania Photography Festival.

In addition to digital photography, I have been working intensively on analog photography since 2019. Recording images on film and watching these images miraculously appear on photo cards in my darkroom at home gives me great pleasure.

I think that no matter what the photograph is, it should have an emotion. As the saying goes, Eddie Adams said it right: "If it makes you laugh, if it makes you cry, and if the journey starts in your heart, it's a good photograph."
