About
Based in Istanbul.
Travelling often.
I photograph people, places, and the things they make. Most assignments start with a conversation — about the location, the rhythm of the day, and what you actually want the pictures to feel like.

“Mohamed reads a room. The set never feels staged — and the pictures do the work later.”

Contact me →-
Where are you based, and do you travel?
I live in Istanbul and travel frequently for assignments. Travel costs are quoted with the brief — no surprises.
-
What is a typical assignment day like?
Usually a pre-call to align on the shot list and rhythm of the day, then 6–10 hours on location. Selects come back within 48 hours, full edit within 7–10 days unless we agree on a tighter window.
-
Do you license images for commercial use?
Yes — every commercial assignment includes a usage license matched to the brief (web, social, print, OOH). For one-off licensing of existing pictures, get in touch with the use case and term you need.
-
Can I see raw files or unedited frames?
Selects are delivered finished. Unedited frames stay with the photographer. If a project genuinely needs raw access, we discuss it up front and price accordingly.

How do I get a quote?
Send a short brief via the contact form — location, dates, scope, and what kind of pictures you need. Replies usually arrive within 48 hours.
