In my early days, Hakan was one of those photographers I watched in deviantart that literally stood out. He was one of those photographers whose works I can spot almost immediately. There is something about his work, a fusion of east and west, and its story-like presentation that makes it stand out so much, each time I check my inbox. His photographs also have that "part twisted"element that is so hard to miss. It's hard to select just one series in his gallery to feature, so I selected three. With three of my faves each.
Dark Romance Series
This is possibly his longest series (if not Pinar Eris) in his deviantart account. With over 40 images. I've shared three, which I fancied the most.
How We Got So Blue
I am such a sucker for high hey lighting and portraits. Thus, this. Plus, at some angle, the model looks a bit like Leighton Meester.
Life at Backstage
This series was very different from the usual sets in his gallery. All photographs were shot backstage at the Vivienne Westwood show.
