Meet the Photographer

” The most important component of a camera is the person behind it “

Hi there, I’m Pinar!

I am a full time portrait photographer in Calgary, Alberta, specializing in family, newborn and headshot photography. I enjoy capturing the genuine emotion in the moment, so you can find laughter, tears, love, excitement or even sadness in my library of family photos. But don’t worry, during our photo shoot, I make sure to capture the happy moments 🙂

Passion and beyond…

I love all genres of photography but most of all, I love shooting portraits. It’s the human that makes an image alive. Babies, children, families, celebrations, each milestone in our lives. These are not only beautiful pictures to look at and admire, but also a family treasure to celebrate our past and pass it to the next generations.

Natural light or studio?

I admire the beauty of natural light, but I also enjoy the creativity that comes with the studio lighting; so I do both and strive to create the best works in each.

Location…

I am serving all of Calgary and surrounding area. My home studio is located in Montgomery NW, Calgary. For some photo shoots clients come to my studio, for some of them I go to their place or meet at beatiful Calgary parks or downtown streets.

Inspiration…

I find inspiration in the works of great photographers of our time including Ara Güler, Yousuf Karsh, Vivian Maier and Annie Leibovitz.

“The most essential thing is love. Everything depends on it. Because everything, even photography is for humans. There can never be a person devoid of love and photography devoid of people” – Ara Güler, Photojournalist AKA “the eye of Istanbul”

My goal…

While pursuing my passion, my goal is to take photos that are whimsical and genuine, filled with light, emotion and connection. My priority is to provide a fun and relaxed experience for my clients and at the end of the day, leave them with priceless memories to enjoy through the years.
