Umit Ulgen

I am a professional photographer/Actor. I have a degree in Fine art photography from University of Plymouth. During my degree, I started photographing actors/celebrities for their various charity projects. In time I become friends with few of them and this led me to follow them in to the film sets. I fell in love with the process and the feel I had watching actors create powerful scenes and do their craft. I always wanted to explore many different forms of art and it was a natural challenge for me to become and actor and explore the psychical side of my artistic nature. After three years of extra work in films sets to learn the process and doing many short films to build my showreel, now I work as a professional actor. Commercial Photography had to take a back step but artistic work still remains big part of me. Acting actually gave me more freedom to only do the work I want to do, hence making me very content on daily basis.
