Guney Yuksel

I am a fine art photographer based in Kaş, a small town on Turkey's Mediterranean coast where the mountains descend directly into the sea. For over a decade I have photographed the human form almost exclusively outdoors, in natural light, with the landscape as an equal subject — rock, sea, horizon, and body in a single composition.
My work explores how light and shadow reduce a body to pure form, until the line between anatomy and geography dissolves. I work with minimal equipment, on location, without studio artifice. What matters to me is not technical perfection but presence.
For years I deliberately kept this work away from the spotlight; my photographs quietly found their way into private digital collections across four blockchain networks. I am now presenting my work under my own name for the first time, beginning with the ongoing black and white series Formed by Light.
