Akif Hakan Celebi




Akif Hakan Celebi is a fashion photographer, working all over the world but born in Turkey. Akif says to be ‘striving to go beyond established styles and widen the boundaries of photographic expression‘.
Most striking is his use of color, and the often very busy background settings.
His personal work walks along the same line, creating imaginary erotic tales, glamour and sensuality in a multi layered atmosphere.
