Meet Mehmet.

Mehmet was born in Istanbul and discovered his love of photography in the early 70’s, using a Kodak Instamatic 100 camera. Despite his demanding career as an ENT surgeon, photography remained a passion, albeit one he could not fully pursue at the time. However, with the advent of the digital era and his full-time photographer period in Paris, France since 2017, he returned to the photography scene.

He has Photography Diplomas from CB3P Photography School in Paris as well as University of Eskisehir, Turkey. In addition to being a certified drone user, he has many other certifications in fields as diverse as design and the contemporary arts.

As a dedicated mobile photographer and landscape photographer, Mehmet focuses on street photography and vernacular-candid photography. These have allowed him to cultivate his unique style. His talent and artistry have earned him accolades, including the IPPA iPhone Photography Awards and the Vicent Versace Photographic Excellence Award among others.

Beyond photography, Mehmet Ömür is a prolific author with numerous scientific and non-scientific books, exploring the realms of gastronomy and the arts. His works have garnered attention worldwide, being exhibited in many cities across the globe over the last decade. His artistic journey continues to inspire and captivate audiences, leaving a lasting impression on the world of photography and beyond.
