The Lake Of Infinity

Silhouettes and shadows are hard to shoot because you need a strong sun light, a certain angle of light hitting the spot, and you do not have a direct view to your subject.

Two guys, one no hair, one with very much hair, they all turned their heads to a certain direction as their friend called out to them, getting their attention.

Attention

In the future, our perception may be re-shaped with AI. In 10, 20, even 30 years, how do we tell "Common" from "Odd" ?

Exposure to AI-generated surreal images might lead to a shift in aesthetic preferences. As people become accustomed to seeing unconventional and dreamlike compositions, their appreciation for these types of images could grow, causing a recalibration of their perceptions of "normal" artistic representations.

Common Oddities Minters' Edition

Seeing crowded places empty with the company of a beautiful and calm morning is priceless. Seka Park in Kocaeli is one of the most crowded places on a sunny day or on weekends. It is an old paper factory by the Kocaeli Bay, turned into a museum now and its garden has been redesigned to be a park and recreational area.

The sea being so calm, almost like a mirror has been a great opportunity on that day.

This photograph is my contribution to the Loyalty Over Royalty #LOR event.

Daydreams

Puddles are one of the best props in Galata Bridge. Many people who are not photographers or enthusiasts, may not see the magic that could be created with them. Catching the angle, setting up the tripod nicely, an artistic reflection can turn the most ordinary spot into an interesting one.

Staging

As a photographer, I always try to discover the hidden beauty in most ordinary, common and mundane places. I believe aesthetic is always there, waiting to be seen like a hidden gem.

Galata Bridge is one of the oldest and most crowded places in Istanbul. Also we would be telling a lie if we said that it is the cleanest place with hygiene. But the dance of the light and geometry is unique. The harmony makes this place an extraordinary tale of silhouettes and shadows in geometry.

This collection aims to explore this harmony in its original color: blue.

Last year, I have worked with a talented director, Onur Huseyin Kilinc, in a photography documentary called Bir Kare Bir Anlam, for a main stream Turkish tv channel, TRT2. I have taken part in 3 episodes with my photography so far. 3rd episode, we shot on June 19, 2022, was mostly taken on Galata Bridge. I believe that the combination of light and geometry is very unique here because everytime I come to shoot, I go home with a photograph that I love.

Galata Blues

I have always heard people say that The Sun in Amsterdam was somehow different. The rays of light had some kind of layer in front and this created a unique environment.  
Walking among the crowds around Rijks Museum, smoke enters the scene from behind the camera to create this harmony, just before I clicked the shutter.  
Amsterdam is truly a heaven for photographers

Light of Amsterdam

There is always a beauty in even most crowded, most ordinary and most mundane places. Photography helps discover this hidden aesthetic and beautiful moment, generally invisible to naked eye. 
This is a collection of featured photographs of mine, chasing the hidden gems around the places I've been.

Jack, a witty and spontaneous Londoner, and Emma, a free-spirited tourist from the United States, have a chance encounter on a rainy October day. As they take cover under the same awning, they strike up a conversation that quickly develops into a playful banter.

Salisbury, a picturesque city in southern England, boasts a rich historical heritage and stunning architectural landmarks. A short drive from Salisbury takes you to the iconic Stonehenge, one of the world's most enigmatic prehistoric monuments. Comprising a circle of colossal standing stones, some nearly 20 feet tall and weighing tons, Stonehenge's exact purpose and construction methods remain subjects of ongoing archaeological debate. Believed to have been erected between 3000 and 2000 BCE, the site is thought to have had various functions, possibly religious, astronomical, and ceremonial. Its alignment with solstices and equinoxes suggests a profound connection to the solar calendar and the natural world's cycles. 

In 2017, I visited Salisbury for just a day. This video is based on my photography, close to how I see and how I remember Salisbury, the magical atmosphere.

It feels like the moment after you’ve shut everything out —
when the silence becomes too loud, and something inside begins to fracture.

Not from pain,
but from the pressure of holding everything in for too long.

I Stayed Too Long Inside Myself

It feels like carrying someone inside you long after they’re gone —
not haunting, just a quiet presence that never fully dissolved.

You move forward, but they echo,
not in words or memories,
just in the space you now hold slightly differently.
