Artist: Akif Hakan Celebi




















Miami Photographer Akif Hakan Celebi

Celebi produces some standard fare for fashion and ad photography, but I think his skill and vision are only limited by the market he is working in. His use of a consistent short depth of field in nearly every photo first made me think that he was confining himself to a familiar style. I thought that until I sifted through his whole online portfolio: the short DOF is really working hard in showing off his amazing selection of models. Click on the above pics for larger versions.

"(Celebi) brings 'Expressionism' into photography with the use of unusual color combinations and they are a reflection of his own character and personal view. He approaches fashion photography with an edge , blending fine-art and photo-journalistic aspects with glamour , sensuality and beauty. He is always striving to go beyond established styles and widen the boundries of photographic expression. Aside from working in the USA, he also often travels to Turkey and Japan for photography assignments."
