Umur Dilek
Photography came into my life when i received a Ricoh camera as a gift. At age 19 I found myself in the streets, capturing things my way. I graduated from civil engineering at Istanbul University and then I took my post graduate degree from Marmara University Social Science Institute Quantitative Methods master program. I co-founded Ares Advertising Agency in 2001. I worked on multimedia-designs, fashion, portrait and commercial photography. I shot some covers magazines, advertising and fashion campaigns for international and national brands such as Pierre Cardin, Koçtaş, Özdilek, MNG, Kemal Tanca, Adam Shoes, Pedro Camino, Alchera etc.
I am continuing my fashion and portrait photography career as a freelance photographer and producer.
