My photographic series and text-based works focus on personal intimacies. Photography helps me to see the things that I cannot see with the naked eye, and I believe photography’s true power lies in what it doesn't show but evokes in the viewer's mind. I see photography as a tool to communicate with my surroundings as well as research the ways humans develop relationships with others and the world they inhabit. There is always a duality or an understanding of doubleness in my work, as I believe the human condition or the human psyche always operates in relation to the other. The history of photography and the ontology of photography is a great inspiration for me. I am very much interested in exploring the portrait traditions and how the context of historical imagery changes over time. Through my work, I aim to create an intimate conversation between me and my subjects, and ultimately to facilitate a similar conversation between my photographs and the viewer. I like to make photobooks and edit works of other people. I teach and write about photography. I run a small publishing house and a book shop called FiLBooks in Istanbul. Nice to meet you.
