About

Murat Güney is a photographer based in Istanbul. Combining analog and digital techniques, he creates minimalist and emotional frames in pursuit of light and moments. His work explores themes of urban life, portraiture, and nature. He uses photography as a storytelling tool and aims to establish an emotional connection with the viewer in each frame.

His passion for photography began in his early years with his father's old camera. While developing his technique over the years, he focused on creating his own visual language. Known for his minimalist approach and use of light, Güney often prefers simplicity and capturing the emotion of the moment in his photographs. His interest in analog photography led him to specialize in film photography. Throughout this process, believing that photography is still a craft even in the digital age, he also developed darkroom techniques.
