Albin Bezjak

I grew up on the creative side of the advertising world
and had the pleasure of working with hundreds of clients
around the world; telling their unique stories in very unique ways.
Along the way, I've had the pleasure of working with an incredible number of talented photographers, directors, cinematographers and imagemakers.
I became envious of their art and craft. At first, I saw it as a means of reducing my stress-filled life.
As a Chief Creative Officer at the world's largest Advertising Agency Network, I needed a distraction.
So I bought a camera. And then another. And another.
My new hobby and daily "creative exercise regimen" quickly turned into a joy-filled and all consuming passion.

I love talking to all sorts of people and seem to have a knack for getting them to open up and share themselves
despite the intrusion and intimidation that a serious-looking camera often represents.

I like seeking out and sharing things I find interesting
Beautiful things. Powerful things. Poignant things.

I am incredibly patient and am often rewarded with moments of magic.

I also enjoy taking something ordinary and making it something well beyond that.
(To paraphrase Ansel Adams: "...making pictures, not just taking them.")
Illustration and painting are other passions and I love creating unique photocompositions.

One thing led to another and now I'm published, winning awards and having my work shown in galleries.

Happiness.

So here I am.
Open for business.
And open for any adventure that needs an image or two.

Hello. My name is Niyazi. I live and work in Istanbul. I started as a hobby became a little more serious when started a photoblog one years ago.

I try to take different subject, as often as I can and these will usually be captured in Istanbul. Istanbul is an old old city, you can see the remains of many ancient civilizations and their culture in harmony with Turkish culture. The old versus the new, the traditional versus the modern is a conflict a visitor often observes.
