Who am I

I was born in Istanbul in 1980. After living in Ankara for 15 years, I currently live in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I am a Photographer and Performance Artist. I am married and have a daughter. I am the registered owner of the Düğün Hikayesi® brand in Türkiye. I have been a professional photographer since 2008. Since 2016, I started to focus on my personal work. Apart from working with models, I preferred to express myself through Self Portraits. I have awards and exhibitions from various competitions. I continue to work wherever I can produce artistic content.
