3. WHO
AM
I?
pursued my studies in Photography at the School of Visual
Arts in New York, where I also gained my first professional
experience at the studio of Steven Klein. I continued to ex-
pand my experience within the Photography world by mov-
ing to London, where I worked with Sandro Sodano whereas
in Turkey, I gained experience at the Tamer Yılmaz Studio.In
addition to a series of personal exhibits completed in Turkey,
my works were exhibited in Barcelona Showcase in Casa
Batillo in 2012, in Romart Biennale in 2015 and in Bologna in
the event of Confimi Emiilia 2017.
I approach photography as an adventurer diving into
moments that tickle my curiosity and enable me to share
eternal experiences with others. I continuously urge to offer
something ‘new’ and innovative and advance myself by
not only targeting international projects, but also by utilizing
mix media of photography, video, digital art and installa-
tions to deliver my vision. My aspiration to branch out to dif-
ferent visual media led me to establish - with the sponsorship
of Canon - the first photography-based TV Show in Turkey in
2012 called ‘Instant Split’.

of Merve, as in a photographer’s point of view and the
frame that she looks through, to the world. Thus, the frames
represent the artist’s vision and perspective.
