The internationally booked artist was born in Istanbul and grew up in Cologne. At the age of 14 he started cutting his first amateur music videos and at 16 he started producing the first trend sports films. Then he decided to study maths before he realized how much he suffered from his insufficient creative demands. He thought he would become a mathematician, but after a long excursion into photography he returned to his roots: and is now an award-winning photographer and filmmaker.
