As a professional Director of Photography, I use high-end cinema cameras to ensure your visuals have a 'big-screen' quality.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Incredible...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Incredible Cinematic Experience in Istanbul! If you’re visiting Istanbul and want something unforgettable, book this experience immediately. My private cinematic video and photography session with Tarlanzadeh was beyond anything I expected. From the moment we met, he brought such a calm, creative energy that made the entire shoot feel effortless—and fun. He is truly a master at what he does. He knew all the best angles, hidden gems, and iconic spots around the city. Every shot felt intentional and artistic. He gave gentle direction that made me feel confident, natural, and comfortable on camera—even in busy locations. The way he captured movement, architecture, color, and emotion honestly made me feel like I was starring in my own travel film. The final photos and videos? Absolutely breathtaking. The quality, editing style, and cinematic storytelling elevated Istanbul in a way I didn’t even know was possible. These are not just pictures—these are memories turned into art. What I loved most was his professionalism and passion. He arrived early, communicated clearly the entire time, and tailored the session exactly to my vibe and vision. Whether you’re celebrating a special moment or just want to level up your travel content, this is the experience to book. I’ve done photoshoots around the world, but this one stands out far above the rest. ✨ Thank you, Tarlanzadeh, for capturing Istanbul—and me—so beautifully. I will cherish these images forever!

Amazing last-minute Istanbul photoshoot with Tarkhan Tarlanzadeh

I booked a last-minute photoshoot for my final day in Istanbul, and Tarkhan Tarlanzadeh was fantastic from start to finish. He replied quickly, shared links to his portfolio, and provided clear directions. He stayed in constant contact with me and even coordinated with my taxi driver to ensure I arrived safely at the location. Tarkhan is incredibly kind, patient, and professional, guiding the session in a relaxed manner. I felt welcomed by Turkish culture and deeply appreciated how warmly he and the Bosphorus cruise crew treated me. Although I was traveling solo, I never felt left out; Tarkhan and the crew made me feel included and at ease. The video Tarkhan produced is beautiful. The music he chose was thoughtful and complemented Istanbul’s beauty perfectly. Delivery was prompt, and the final product captured the memories wonderfully. I’m grateful I booked with him—without this shoot, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to see such stunning sites from a fresh perspective. This experience created a lifetime of memories with high-quality footage and photos.
