As a master of capturing unforgettable scenes of time, I, a film director, have journeyed down this inspiring path for years. In the early days of my career, I walked the enchanting corridors of the advertising world as a producer and director. In 2014, I took my initial steps with the documentary "I Am Not an Apache." This creation was not just a documentary; it served as a mirror reflecting the intricacies of life and humanity. I dedicated myself to capturing the reflections in that mirror. Later on, in 2015, I wholeheartedly embraced the role of a director with the documentary "Chauffeur of Authority." It was a moment when I became enchanted by the allure of narrating stories behind the camera. While forging ahead on this path, I found myself under the umbrella of the Miki Film Collective. The dynamism and creativity within this collective further captivated me. In 2016, with "Kadıköy Bicycle," and in 2017, with "Billy," I captured life stories seeping through the urban fabric. During the same years, I initiated and sustained the "Get Off the Car, Get on the Bicycle" campaign through the Kinocycle Film Collective. This effort transitioned from the noise of cars to the rhythm of pedals. The wheel sounds of bicycles conveyed the rhythm of life with each pedaling motion. The roads led me to embark on a 10,000 km-long bicycle journey until 2022. Through my film "Cinatı: A Criticalmass," I depicted the rhythm of cities by capturing each rotation of the wheel. This journey from Istanbul to Tehran reinforced the significance of bearing witness and recording moments with each turn of the wheel. On this extensive journey, I ventured into the realm of Agriculture. In projects like "A Clean Farm: Organic and Beyond," "Sevinç Sister: Love Beyond Labor," and "Migration to the Countryside," I depicted moments of connecting with the soil, labor, and our roots. These films illuminated various festivals and met audiences. Between 2019 and 2023, through documentaries like "Urban Gardens," "Ode to Compost," and "Pedal Companion," I encapsulated the flourishing beauty of cities and the sprouting life embraced by the soil. In 2024, with projects like "SatChitAnana: Belgin Sister" and "Rejecting Anthropocene: Urban Agriculture," I will once again present to audiences the profound value of recording and bearing witness. Behind each film lies the enchantment of leaving meaningful traces within life's ephemeral nature, orchestrating scenes, and documenting life itself. As a witness to this magical world behind the camera, I will continue to tread this path.

I'm a British freelance photojournalist, based in Istanbul, Turkey. My personal work often focuses on themes of identity, migration, social and political actions, and the ramifications of those for individuals. I regularly cover stories about how identity shapes lives in challenging and unexpected ways, particularly within sexual and ethnic minority groups. Regularly working covering feature stories, and portrait assignments in Turkey, the Balkans, and the Middle East, for a range of international newspapers, magazines, and online news media. My long-term project Kütmaan (started in 2010) tells the stories of LGBTI asylum seekers, refugees, and IDPs in and from the Middle East, forced to flee their countries and lives for reasons connected with their sexuality and/or gender identity. This work led to my latest ongoing body of personal work called Gayropa - a visual documentation on queer migration to Europe. Based in Istanbul, Turkey since early 2012, but traveling often. Began my career freelancing across South/Central Asia 2005-2010.
