SEASON'S GREETINGS!
Manavgat, Antalya,Turkey
I hope that past year was a healthy and happy one for everybody. 2018 was a year in which I had wonderful times with art-lovers, artists, clients, my family and friends. At the same time there were many positive changes with my fine art photography and commercial photography. My new fine art photography website, two valuable awards at international and national photo contests, exhibiting my "Untamed" photo series which I had worked on for two and a half years, new print techniques and new image solutions for clients were additional benefits of the year.

I wish that next year is a healthy, fruitful, constructive and creative one filled with love for all of us!

I would like to talk briefly about the awards presented to me this year.

FOTOGEN'S 30th ŞİNASİ BARUTÇU CUP PHOTO PRINT CONTEST

This 30 year old invitation-only contest organized by Photographic Art Association FOTOGEN is held in honor of one of the pioneers of Turkish photography Şinasi Barutçu. The contest takes three years and photographers who pass all three rounds win the cup. I was one of those invited this year and I passed the round with six prints from my "Untamed" series.

PRODUCTION PARADISE SPOTLIGHT AWARDS FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC EXCELLENCE

Another contest was Production Paradise Spotlight Awards for Photographic Excellence. My photograph shown below was in the top ten in the Corporate & Industrial category.
