Photography | Multidisciplinary Artist

Photography since 2006

"Photography has been one of my creative passions since high school. I never took any formal classes or lessons — my approach has always been intuitive, guided by feeling and curiosity.

I was first drawn to landscapes, deeply influenced by my father’s extensive collection. But with the rise of internet culture, my interests expanded — I began exploring conceptual and abstract photography, fascinated by how images can speak beyond words.

Some of my landscape oil paintings were inspired by photographs I took myself. There's something magical about capturing a moment — a rare contrast, an unexpected harmony, or even a scene that feels disjointed yet emotionally charged.

For me, photography is a way to stabilize the fleeting. It lets me translate the emotional essence of experience into something visual, something permanent — a still image that vibrates with feeling.

> While I haven’t pursued photography professionally or commercially, my images have received genuine and kind recognition, admiration from artists and professional photographers around the world, both online and in real life."

Toxic Love Affair

I saw this plastic cup on the grass and it reminded me of this fact "Plastic does not disappear in nature for a long time" which can be percevied as "romantic" with the sunset view! "Plastic cup and nature together, forever!?..." "A sarcastic approach that I thought it might remind people nature and plastics are not very happy together and we need to be mindful about this if we wish to have a harmonious relationship with our beautiful earth. © Copyright 2022, Esra Günen.
