ABOUT DILARA YUKSEL

Welcome to my little corner of photography! This journey has been a long time coming. Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been fascinated by how a single image can capture emotions and tell entire stories. But it wasn’t until this year that I finally decided to dive in headfirst and make photography a part of my everyday life.

​

To grow and learn, I took a leap and attended workshops in Amsterdam and London. It was an incredible experience - working with such talented photographers, soaking in their knowledge, and discovering the beauty and complexity of street and portrait photography.

Those moments truly helped me see the world (and my camera) in a whole new way.

I’m still figuring out my unique style, but I keep coming back to the magic of black-and-white photography. There’s something so timeless and honest about it. By removing the distraction of color, I get to focus on the raw interplay of light and shadow, capturing the pure essence of a moment.

​

These days, you’ll usually find me somewhere between the worlds of portrait and street photography. I love the challenge of freezing raw, unfiltered emotions or stumbling across hidden stories in everyday life. 

​

Every shot feels like a step closer to finding my voice in this vast world of visual storytelling. I’m still exploring, experimenting, and learning, but I love playing with light and shadow, letting them transform moments into stories that speak to the heart.

Thanks for being here and sharing this journey with me. Let’s celebrate the beauty of simplicity, the poetry of light and shadow, and the stories waiting to be discovered in every frame.
