Hi, I’m Tolga Reis
A photographer with a passion for storytelling and a unique background that shapes my creative vision.
My journey began in a small Black Sea town in Turkey called Zonguldak, where I first discovered the magic of photography at the age of 11 with a 6-megapixel digital camera. What started as a childhood fascination has grown into a lifelong pursuit, making photography my meditation, my creative core, and a tool for self-discovery.
I studied at one of Turkey’s top institutions, Istanbul University, where I majored in Radio, TV, and Cinema. After graduating, I worked as a news camera operator and editor for a national TV channel, ATV, in Istanbul. These experiences honed my ability to think on my feet, capture fleeting moments with precision, and follow the action like an eagle – a skill I now bring into my photography.
Whether I’m documenting the energy of a live music performance, the elegance of a fashion shoot, or the candid beauty of portraits, my goal is to tell stories that resonate deeply. My news camera background allows me to see every moment through a unique lens, blending technical expertise with the intuition to anticipate and capture the perfect shot.
Today, photography remains my meditation – a way to connect with people, emotions, and the world around me. Every project I take on is guided by my philosophy: to make every moment I capture Be Eternal.
