Bio
I'm from
Istanbul, Turkey.
After having my MFA in Photography
at Academy of Art University
in San Francisco
and after living in
California for
several
years, I
moved back
to Istanbul.
I love to
create
conceptual photography
where
I can
express my inner,
imaginative
world.
I'm interested in
ideas,
magical elements in life and
expressing them in my work
with a dreamy feeling.
My work's been exhibited
at galleries throughout
San Francisco,
Istanbul and Mugla
as well as
publications and magazines.
