My Editorial with Cem Kurttekin Featured in MMSCENE Magazine

MMSCENE is an international platform covering fashion, design, culture and contemporary creative talent. Seeing this project published is an important milestone and a great opportunity to share our work with a wider international audience.

The Editorial

The project was created together with Cem Kurttekin, focusing on personality, versatility and contemporary menswear. Rather than limiting the shoot to a single mood or character, we explored different looks and scenarios, allowing the model to transform throughout the editorial.

The goal was to create images that feel natural while still maintaining a strong fashion identity. Every look brought a different energy to the story, from confident and minimal portraits to more character-driven moments.

For me, fashion photography is not only about clothing or aesthetics. It is also about creating a character, a mood and a visual story that allows the viewer to see something beyond a single photograph.

Working with Cem Kurttekin

Cem Kurttekin brought great energy and versatility to the project. His ability to adapt to different characters and moods allowed us to create a diverse editorial while keeping the entire series visually connected.

A successful editorial is always a collaborative process. The final result is shaped not only by the photographer, but by everyone involved in bringing the concept to life.

The styling for the project was created by Ilhan Baysal, with assistance from Daria Grudinina.

Published by MMSCENE

The editorial was selected for an exclusive feature accompanied by an interview with Cem Kurttekin, where he shares more about his journey, career and perspective on the modeling industry.

Having the opportunity to see this work published on an international fashion platform is particularly meaningful as I continue developing my work in fashion, editorial and commercial photography.

Fashion Photography and International Collaborations

This publication represents another step in my journey as a photographer working with models, creative professionals and brands in Türkiye and internationally.

My focus is on creating strong visual stories that combine fashion, personality and contemporary aesthetics. Whether working on an editorial project, a model portfolio or a commercial campaign, every shoot begins with the same goal: creating images that feel distinctive and memorable.

I look forward to continuing to collaborate with talented creatives and developing new projects for international publications, brands and fashion platforms.
