A selection of my personal photo projects over the years. 

My style has naturally shifted with time (in both subject matter and technique) but one thing has stayed the same: I’m drawn to moments, people, and places that feel singular.

Nostalgia has always been a quiet undercurrent in my life. Photography has become a small, personal way of leaning into that feeling. It lets me linger a bit longer; helps me make peace with time.





ÖLÜM ALBUM ARTWORK
Personal Project

Photographing Ölüm felt less like documenting a band and more like stepping into a time warp.  Their sound, steeped in the golden age of Anatolian psychedelic rock, carries a texture that I’ve always gravitated toward.




I treated this shoot as an homage to the golden era of band photography. I’ve always been drawn to artists who treat tradition as something living, something mutable. Ölüm does exactly that; they carry the pulse of the past into the present without imitation.  The energy in the room was hypnotic, equal parts ritual and rehearsal. Aykut spoke about the folk roots of their songs, about the ghosts of Anatolian melodies lingering beneath the distortion. With Ölüm, it wasn’t about perfection or clarity; it was about the noise, the color, the pulse.
