Akif Hakan Celebi is a photographer I found on an artist site years ago, going simple by Hakan. Hakan focuses mostly on fashion photography and artistic nudes. What caught my eye about his work was the way he is able to perfectly capture a distinct mood with every photo. These photos are more artistic in nature, and they tend to be very beautiful.
Hakan travels around the world and contacts models to shoot, both for professional and personal works, but he originally comes from Turkey. His editing is exceptional, and he desaturates, saturates, or split-tones a photo to get the perfect mood. His framing is often unconventional, but it is always with a purpose. Most of his models are female, but there a few males.
I particularly enjoy his fashion photography. Even though some of the outfits are ludicrous, the way he photographs them makes them all look beautiful and fun to wear. He can even make them seem perfectly in place at a busy walkway, as if he is transforming the model and her clothes into a beautiful statue in the middle of a street.
His approach also makes the models look flawless. Their skin has no pores and they look like dolls. His work makes it look like you are looking into a fantasy world!
