Must do! - Oh my! Recep was amazing! Made an uncoordinated couple feel at ease. Took us to all the top spots, took us by tram to more spots, bought us coffee for more shots. Took LOTS of pictures but was so engaging, easy going, you did not feel exhausted. Even took more photos and videos with our phones. Must do! Thank you Recep!

A morning of laughter and fun, an album of perfect moments - After seeing reviews of Recep I was already expecting “an experience beyond expectations” but Recep managed to even exceed that! A fun n professional photographer, Recep brought us to the best phototaking spots. Through his lens our happiest moments were captured. Why settle for a perfect photo, when you can have an enjoyable experience, nice reels and many many perfect photos.

I recommend it. - It was such a fun photo shoot! I recommend it. We don't speak English fluently, but Recep was very kind and friendly in communicating with us. He also gave us some pose advice as we were new to photography, which helped us a lot. He also talked about Istanbul's Recommendations and found them helpful. They also took more photos than I expected. I'm happy to take so many photos in Istanbul. Thanks to this photo shoot, I was able to create wonderful travel memories. Thank you so much, Recep!!

Captured Photo Memories Iconic Istanbul - I found Recep online while planning a milestone birthday trip to Istanbul. I dreamt of a birthday photoshoot with iconic Istanbul as a backdrop. Based on positive reviews, I booked him through Viator and he contacted me via whatsapp to get more infirmation. He was always receptive, informative, and I was impressed by his fluency in English, a great asset! We agreed on 7:30 am, after following his advice, the earlier to avoid the crowds, I let him take the lead and I would follow. He arrived on time and I began to really embrace what that morning on my birthday meant to me. Though the morning was hot, and humid, and I was sweating, Recep was easy going, and made the experience feel very natural, that my inner model self became more relaxed, and less self conscious, that the final results did not disappoint . Some of the locations we traveled to using taxis and tramway, were in Sultanahmet Square, at the Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Seven Hills Rooftop, Ortakoy Mosque, and my favorite, the private studio and rooftop photoshoot. After sifting through 600+ images which he sent me within days of the shoot, it was hard to select the final 80, but I'm very satisfied with the results. Recep was very patient with my timing to get the selections back to him for retouching/editing, even resending me the link after it had expired on me. I highly recommend him if you are looking for someone professional to capture your lasting memories. My only one suggestion is to make sure to discuss with him beforehand about videos you may like recorded. Thank you Recep, best of luck doing what you love, thank you for making my birthday wish come true, and for my keepsake gift photos!

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!
