I was born in Izmir in 1954
in Turkey.
In 1970, I pressed the
shutter without thinking my limit, what I can fit on my screen.
In 1973 my art teacher asked
my why I am not opening my photography exhibition and I opened my first
exhibition.
I travelled around Turkey by
hitchhiking in 1973. I realised that I have got many thing to do after seeing
the wideness of my country and the varieties on people living in. Thousands of
film rolls weren’t enough to Picture all those prosperities.
I started to study in
Political Science Faculty of Ankara University in 1974.
In 1977, While I was taking
photography in Taksim, on the 1st of May, my life passed in front of my eyes.
Those scenes from that time, became the scenes that Turkey couldn’t forget. The
happiness of the people in a feast was followed by the fear of death on the same
day.
In 1979 I married with my
wife, Zerrin.
In 1981, my daughter Nergis
took her place in our album.
In 1987 my daughter Yasemin
was in my screen.
I loved human and pictured
them.
I entered the lives like
sponge hunters in Kas and gypsy weddings in Tekirdag.
I shared both their
happiness and sadness…
They looked at me laughing,
smiling, worried and crying…
I made many friends.
How lucky I am, am I not??
We have got many things to
add the the World prosperity as we do to people and humanity also.
I opened many exhibitions up
to today and I also participated in mixed exhibitions.
I won awards.
Photography is a lifestyle
for me anyhow
