You won't regret booking! - I cannot recommend this experience and booking Recep enough! If, like me you are kinda shy and not super photogenic but would like some nice photos to remember your trip by this experience is perfect - I received so many lovely pictures, Recep is a talented photographer with a great eye and, like so many of the other reviews have highlighted, is also lovely and will put you at ease. I booked an early morning session which I really recommend, so that the crowds hadn't yet formed and the venues were relatively empty and it was a lot easier to be more confident without an audience :)

Incredible 12 hour Istanbul photo day! - I had a fantastic day with Recept exploring Istanbul and I highly recommend him! I only had one day in Istanbul and I wanted to see as much as possible. Recep was willing to do a private full-day tour with me and take photos the entire time. He showed me the best highlights of Istanbul and took photos starting at 5 am and finished at 6:30 pm! We visited all the key spots and he was unphased by the long day. He is so knowledgeable and personable that it felt spending the day with a friend, who just happens to take great photos! Just a few days later, I received a google link with HUNDREDS of amazing photos and the pictures are exactly what I was hoping for. Recep’s communication ahead of the day was fantastic - he always responding to me promptly on WhatsApp and he made sure the photos he took matched the style I was looking for. If you’re wanting to see all the highlights and come away with some amazing photos, Recep is the photographer to choose!

Great memories to keep - Recep is a highly experienced portrait photographer for tourists in Istanbul. He has a great amount of knowledge in Istanbul, which was very useful for me to start my exploration of the city. It was a great idea to book the photography session with Recep on the first day of my stay in Istanbul because his tips and advice were very helpful. He was also very flexible with the meeting time and my preferences, etc. and very easy to communicate. The delivery of photos was also very timely.

No more stupid selfies! - I found Recep, my Personal Photographer for my first Istanbul trip, on TripAdvisor because all the other ones I found on Internet were either too expensive or didn’t seem credible. I became worried as I’d really love some great photos of myself in this truly beautiful city. Then I saw TripAdvisor and checked it out. The packages seemed attractive, well priced and seemed just fit me. I chose a program and an hour later Recep messaged me. We met early this morning and I found him easy to work with, understanding my request that I wanted nothing too “touristy “. The 2-hour program was very attractively priced and we ended up spending half day without extra charges! Most importantly the photos- all I can say is I am very very happy and glad I had him helping me! I’d be so proud to show them on my IG under the theme “A Gentleman in Istanbul “! Thanks Recep 🙏😊

Highly recommend Recep as photographer for families - Perfect way to see Istanbul iconic sites while capturing memories for a lifetime. Recep was very professional and timely in booking process and inquiries. During the photoshoot he gave tips on how to pose and also listened to our feedback. Highly recommend the studio photoshoot package also - rooftop terrace and lamp room are very pretty landscapes.
