More about Volkan C....
What do you love about your job?
I have quite an interesting education and career background. I worked as a financial strategist, cook, restaurant manager, contractor and a professor but none of my previous work experiences excites me as much as photography. For me, photography is not a job but a lifestyle. I didn't start my career as a photographer but I will die as one. I find my purpose in creating beautiful images.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
Since now I mostly worked on Family, Product, Event and Real Estate Photography.
I have photographing families. I try to be friends with them, especially the kids. I can get the most genuine smile when kids love me and feel free to move around. My clients always excepted me as a family member after all, which made them relax and bring success to the photo shoot. It is not a job for me, I am building relationships and have fun and make sure everyone is having fun.
I take Product, Event, Real Estate and any type of Commercial Photography very seriously. I go above and beyond to deliver what my client is expecting from me. This way I made many clients very happy and they always came back for more.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
One of my pictures have been published in NPAC APPC awards book two years in a row, I shot the sponsorship image for the Steamworks Brew Pub.
