Photography

As soon as Cem got his first camera, he started taking night shots. When he realized that he could make things that are invisible to the human eye visible through the camera, he became addicted to it. He has been capturing the beauties of the night sky with his camera ever since. He takes so much pleasure from being in the solitude under the stars at night that he doesn’t realize how time flies. Cem is an award-winning astrophotographer. Two of his photos were awarded at the Photo NightScape Awards 2022 in France. He also won 1st prize of Nightscape category in the Optolong 2022 NightScape Competition. His photos also have been featured in prestigious platforms such as NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), Sky&Telescope Magazine and TWAN. Cem is also interested in wildlife photography, and engaged in commerical photography additionally.
