Venice Beach |California

Very fun session with Samone Jewett and her friends. They all lived in California before but later decided to move to different States. Love to get together and visit Venice Beach every year. Thank you very much for letting me part of their fun fun day.

Bilgehan Tuncer and String Theory The Music Band

Bilgehan is a very talented Turkish-American musician who resides in Boston, MA. After he graduated from Berklee College of Music, he decided to stay in States and teach music. Every year people travel from different states to be able to work with him.

This photo session took place in downtown Boston in the middle of the night. I intentionally wanted to use the available light at night. We drove for an hour in the city until I find a place where I can play with different light shots. Most of the pictures took place in the park of the Church of Scientology.

To get the longer shutter speed I needed to decrease the aperture. The smaller the aperture the longer the exposure times become and the more depth of field your images will have. I know I Just repeat the basics of photography but low-light photography is possible only if you’re experimenting fearlessly just by using the basic knowledge.

String Theory is one of his newly gathered music bands. I shot the featured photo while Costa was having fun with my beloved Polaroid  SX-70 camera.

Wedding Day Letter to the Bride.

It is nothing as romantic as the moment when the bride reads a letter from the groom. A wedding day letter to the bride is one of the best gifts that the groom could ever give. Their love has embarked upon a journey that will change their lives forever. During this time, it is normal to reflect upon hopes and dreams for the couple in the future. A beautifully composed letter is sure to be passed from generation to generation, becoming a family wedding tradition for years to come.
