Fine Art Photography · Berlin
The body is not a subject in this work, but a medium — photographed as landscape, architecture, relic, and light. Twelve interconnected series, developed across two decades and organised here by three concerns: how light transforms the body, what the body holds inside, and how it meets the place around it.
Optical Transformation
Light, mirror, pigment, projection. The body is not represented but altered — transformed in-camera by physical means that act on perception itself.
Interiority & Disappearance
Psychological weight, quiet withdrawal, the body as it holds memory, melancholy, desire, and the approach to disappearance.
Antemortem
Melancholia
Niche
Crave
Stills
Body & Place
The body in dialogue with landscape, city, and interior — each environment shaping what the figure becomes.

Group exhibitions and collective projects developed alongside the personal practice, bringing Istanbul-based photographers onto international platforms.
