I am A Turkish Cypriot London based photographer with a love for photographing everything I see. People watching and shooting street photography in black and white has become my firm favourite style of photography, capturing a moment time. Photography has been a love of mine for more than twenty years, I can't remember a time without my camera by my side. Photography shouldn't be overly complicated or technical, anyone can produce a super sharp perfect shot with the help of autoexposure and autofocus but for me there is no fun in that. Shooting with Lensbaby
allows me to be creative in camera. Manual focusing and exposure allows me to experiment and create something different, some extraordinary. Everyone looks but not everyone sees, learn to see in a new way. There is a photograph in everything we see, even the mundane, everyday has the possibility of being extraordinary. I shoot extraordinary!
