Private Istanbul photoshoot with Recep. Early-light crowd-avoiding stops from Blue Mosque to Bosphorus Bridge, editing included, transport provided.

“Recep was wonderful to hang out with, knowledgeable of the most scenic places in the city, and incredibly patient. As a photographer he is incredible at making people feel at ease and look their best, and although he has a distinct style in the poses he captures, he's also really good at picking up on what makes you look and feel best and going with that. My partner and I booked this for the last day of our honeymoon, and I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone looking to capture memories of a trip to one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

“100% recommend this experience. Our photographer was punctual and very professional. Knew exactly the best spots and swiftly guided us through the different points of interest, while giving us a brief overview of the places, which was more than k expected for a 1-hr photo session. I appreciated that, although we booked this last minute, he confirmed promptly and even arrived 10 min earlier than we had scheduled. A nice plus is the vast availability of time slots and options (small group vs private).”

“We toured with Can on our first full day in Istanbul. We felt like locals walking with a friend experiencing the real Istanbul before being jaded by the more touristy sites we will encounter on the rest of our stay in this capitulating city. Can quickly assessed my photographic knowledge and picture making skills and offered suggestions accordingly. The four hour walking tour was well paced and the time passed quickly. This was the third time I booked this tour, the other two times upended by pandemic trip related cancellations. The third time was the charm. So glad we finally made it to Istanbul and this photo walk/tour will be…”

I travel a lot and always work with different photographers in different cities, but Batuhan is by far the best. His photos are the most beautiful I’ve ever had — full of emotion, soul, and perfectly captured moments. Over time, we’ve also become friends, because he truly puts his heart into everything he does. I can warmly recommend him to everyone; with Batuhan, the photos are always simply fantastic.”
