About

I was born in Istanbul, Turkey. I grew up in Bodrum which is located in south of Turkey. After I finished highschool in Bodrum, I left to Istanbul for university studies. I studied in Sabancı Universit for one year. After, I left to Lodz, Poland for my main interest which is cinema. In Polish National Film School in Lodz I studied cinematography. During my studies in Poland I got the opportunity to get involved with several different projects, such as a cross-media project, a wild life travel documentary project and many film projects (documentary and fiction) The cross-media project was called SkateBoat and fully initiated by my team members and I. We applied for a grant from EU and implemented the project with the grant we got. As a result we have a 30 min documentary film about the history of skateboarding in Poland which became the first one within its media area. It was a big project with lots of partners and collaborators. In between my studies I took two years off two be able to shoot the wild-life & travel project called YABANCI. It was shot in Kenya and Rwanda mainly and it tells a story of a wild life photographer travelling in the national reserves of these two countries. It was planned to be shot more, however I only took part in the first season and did the 13 episodes as a cinematographer. Currently, I am working on my short movie. I live in Berlin for three years now.
