"Following the Old Masters is a portfolio to pay tribute to chiaroscuro - an oil painting technique - which is very similar to low key photography. Secondly, it's an hommage to my favorite old masters, especially the Spanish and Italian painters from the Renaissance and Golden Age, whom I wanted to honor: especially El Greco, Velazquez, Murillo and the female painter Artemisia Gentileschi. The symbolist Julio Romero de Torres, who is known for his portraits of beautiful Andalusian women, holds a special place in my heart. Some of these portraits are dedicated to the Victorian avant-garde, called The Pre-Raphaelites, and their stunning female models. I was hugely inspired by Dante Gabriel Rosetti, John William Waterhouse and Frank Cadogan Cowper, brightened by Tennyson's poetry… and the soul of the rose went into my blood.
All portraits were done in a studio with one single studio light, using only Hipstamatic."

"I created this series which I call "Remains of Summer" for our summer themed group show, held in Ankara on October 5th.

Step 1: I captured and printed a series of my hands.

Step 2: After choosing my gear, Florence Lens and Love 81 Film in Hipstamatic 339, I started shooting with the Hipstamatic multiple exposure kit; first I took a picture of a hand then I shot an object or texture, which reminded me of the sea, seaside and summer.

There are two kind of images in this series.This is the last step for the first group, which contains single hands.

Step 3: For the second group, I edited some of the original images in the Hipstamatic editing suit and used Salvador 84's mirroring effect to duplicate the single hands in these photos. After some fine tuning, I saved my images.

Step 4: Then I re-edited those images by choosing "Edit Existing" option. In this step, I only chose the Florence Lens and Love 81 Film, in order to match the images to the rest of the series. "
