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.
The first part of the project is the pilot of the project and its well developed elements, which are: the documentary film ''Boat Town'' completed), facebook page, , great skating community with lots of skaters, shops, designers, skateboard manufacturers, one trailer, one project making of, videoclips, visuals, well done two live events and premiers of the ''Boat Town''.
A slightly longer trailer of a planned full-lenght documentary film about an island called Imbros in Turkey. The main topic is about a shepherd who is part of a group that was affected by a major historical event. Filmed with Canon 5D Mark III.
In it’s first season, Yabanci TV series aims to portray the beautiful East African country Kenya. While filming the picturesque landscape and diverse wildlife of Kenya, the traveller as the main character also aims to show local cultural activities and conservation efforts. Via this project the crew wants to raise awareness to endangered species.
