Istanbul Photoshoot At All Top Sightseeings

I booked this just a few hours before, on my only free day in Istanbul, and I am glad I did. Recep was friendly and professional, and he knew the best spots for photos. It was a relaxed and easy atmosphere, which allowed me to feel free to pose and be myself. The photos turned out beautifully, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended if you have limited time in Istanbul. Thank you, Recep!

My husband and I traveled from the United States to Istanbul for our honeymoon, and we couldn’t be happier with Recep! He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. His English made communication effortless, and he was wonderful at suggesting natural, flattering poses. Recep knew all the best photography locations, from Istanbul’s magnificent historic landmarks to its charming urban streets. He even helped us take the tram from Hagia Sophia to Galata Tower for free and knew which of the city’s famous street cats were friendly! His photography expertise and equipment were impressive. We received our photos almost immediately and loved being able to select our favorites for editing. They already look incredible without any edits! Recep was genuinely kind, personable, and knowledgeable about Istanbul. He made our experience comfortable and memorable. These beautiful photographs will be treasured reminders of our honeymoon forever. We wholeheartedly recommend him!

Recep was honestly so accommodating throughout the whole shoot. I had specifically told him that I didn’t want the typical photoshoot pictures with the usual model poses. I wanted something that felt natural, candid, and actually reflected my personality and he understood exactly what I had in mind. The pictures turned out even better than I expected, and everyone around me absolutely loved them! I’m so happy with how naturally he captured everything. Definitely booking him again the next time I’m in Istanbul! ☺️

I had such a great experience working with Recep from PicMeTurkey during my short trip to Istanbul. As a professional photographer myself, I really appreciated his knowledge of the city, the beautiful locations he selected, and how much variety we were able to capture during our three-hour session. We photographed around some of Istanbul’s most iconic spots and also visited Taht Istanbul for the rooftop and Lantern Room photos. Recep was easy to work with, professional, and very reasonably priced for everything included in the experience. I’m so happy I booked this photoshoot and now have beautiful professional photographs to remember my first visit to Istanbul.

Recep is such a good guy and photographer! He will show you amazing spots helping you with everything. Without rushes, changing outfits… I totally recomend if you want to have good İstanbul memories!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for my 40th birthday photoshoot in Istanbul! From the very beginning, he was punctual, professional, patient, and incredibly easy to work with. He had fantastic ideas for poses and knew exactly how to guide me, which helped me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire shoot. We visited some of Istanbul’s most iconic locations, and he did an amazing job capturing not only beautiful photos but also the experience and energy of the day. What made the experience even more special was how much fun we had! He truly went above and beyond, especially by helping me create the birthday reel I had envisioned. He was so accommodating and creative, and it made the whole experience feel effortless and memorable. He also kindly recommended some great restaurants around Istanbul, which was such a lovely extra touch and made my trip even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone talented, professional, creative, and genuinely passionate about what they do, I highly recommend him. He helped make my 40th birthday in Istanbul an unforgettable experience! ✨📸

Amazing experience! I traveled to Istanbul by myself and wanted to find a professional photographer to capture some memories of the trip. The experience honestly exceeded my expectations. The photographer was very friendly, and the photos turned out amazing.

He’s also a fantastic local guide, sharing cool stories about Istanbul as we explored iconic spots like the Blue Mosque, Galata Tower, and the German Fountain.

We had an amazing photoshoot in Istanbul! The photographer, RECEP made us feel comfortable from the start and guided us through natural poses while taking us to beautiful locations. The entire experience was relaxed, super fun, and well organized. We had so much fun exploring the city with him! He was professional & knew exactly how to capture the best angles and the beauty of the city.

Recep did a fantastic job! I did a photoshoot with my baby girl around famous spots at Sultanahmet. He was very attentive, professional and very kind. He even went way over the scheduled time and took hundreds of amazing photos! I received the photos immediately at the end of the photoshoot and several of them he edited as an added bonus. I would hire him again!

Recep was absolutely phenomenal, and the entire experience from start to finish was wonderful. His communication beforehand was top-notch, and he even suggested meeting a bit earlier so we could get great shots before the foot traffic picked up. He was incredibly patient, a fantastic guide, and delivered almost a thousand excellent unedited photos. I highly recommend this to anyone, especially solo travelers looking for perfect keepsakes from their trip

I had a wonderful photo shoot experience in Istanbul with Recep. I was travelling alone and had no previous experience with professional photo shoots, so I was quite nervous at the beginning. However, he made me feel comfortable almost immediately with his friendly and respectful manner. Recep kindly picked me up from my hotel and dropped me back afterwards, which made everything very easy and stress-free for me as a solo traveller. He took me to several beautiful tourist photo locations, including the Galata Tower area, and guided me throughout the session in a very supportive way. The photos turned out absolutely lovely. They look very natural and elegant, exactly what I was hoping for. I really appreciated how patient and professional he was during the shoot. His wife also helped me with my makeup, and she was such a kind and pleasant person. Her support made me feel even more relaxed and confident during the session. Overall, it was a very positive and memorable experience. I highly recommend Recep to anyone visiting Istanbul, especially if you are travelling alone and want beautiful, natural photographs with a friendly and professional photographer.

Had a very good experience with this photographer. The service was professional, patient and very reassuring throughout the session. Really appreciate the effort to make everything smooth and comfortable. Highly recommended.

We had such a great experience with Recep! We wanted to find a way to memorialize our trip to Turkey and announce our first pregnancy. Recep did such a wonderful job bringing us to different locations and incorporating our announcement while still capturing us as a couple. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting. You will not regret it!

This was such a great experience! The photos are so so great and I am very picky with photos. Recep is really polite and a great photographer. I will definetly book it again. I am very grateful.

We had a very pleasant photoshoot experience in Istanbul. The photographer was very patient with us as we asked many questions about the city, and he generously shared helpful local tips. He was also very professional during the session, giving clear guidance on poses and ensuring we felt comfortable throughout. His experience really shows in how he manages the shoot and captures beautiful moments naturally. As a traveller from Singapore, I highly recommend his service. Very suitable for Asian travellers looking for a reliable and professional photographer in Istanbul. Thank you for helping us capture such meaningful memories of our trip.

This was my second photoshoot with Recep around Istanbul, I am highly satisfied with the service provided. He is a true professional and the quality of the service is outstanding.

Recep was so wonderful! My husband and I had photos done to document our Istanbul experience but also to announce our first pregnancy. Recep did a fabulous job of making sure to get all different backgrounds, angles, and different locations. He also provided us with recommendations of where to visit and food as well! I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting! 10/10 experience!

Highly recommend. From the moment of booking, Recep was very friendly and pleasant. Easy to communicate with. I felt totally comfortable as a solo traveller. He is a brilliant photographer, very professional. He knew all the best spots around Istanbul to shoot in. He cares about his guest. My photographs were delivered in a timely manner and are stunning. Love them.

This is my second time in Istanbul as a solo traveler, and I wanted to make some great memories — I definitely don’t regret hiring Recep as my private photographer! He took some amazing shots, even before any editing. I also love how easygoing and friendly he is — he really makes you feel comfortable and not awkward while posing. I’d totally recommend him if you’re looking for a professional touch on your trip to Istanbul. I can’t wait to see the edited photos, but honestly, I already love them as they are! Thanks again RA!

Recep was very good And Helpful. He understood the need And did a wonderful photo shoot . He was patient to wait when I requested to change outfit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience and true artistic photography We had an absolutely amazing experience with this photographer in Istanbul. From the very first moment, he was incredibly kind, warm, and easy to work with, which made the entire session feel natural and enjoyable. He is extremely professional and efficient, guiding us smoothly through the shoot while paying attention to every detail. The way he understands light, composition, and movement is exceptional. The final results were beyond our expectations the photos are not just beautiful, they are truly art. If you are looking for someone who can capture genuine emotions, elegance, and timeless moments while making you feel comfortable and confident, this is the photographer to choose. We will treasure these photos forever and would recommend him without hesitation

The photographer exceded our expectations, he vas very profesional and very quick with the photos so we managed to take photos in many places, also has a lot of knowledge.

Recep was super friendly, kind, and very helpful. He’s an amazing photographer! I booked him last minute, and he made the whole experience so memorable. Highly recommend! 😊

This was the photoshoot I've ever had, the photographer is very professional and knows a lot about the best spots in Istambul.

It was a great experience. The host is great and gives you examples poses. I am very happy with my pictures, they came back to me very quickly.

Recep is an extremely talented photographer! I booked a solo photoshoot with him during our trip to Istanbul. I usually don’t like solo photos of myself because I don’t know how to pose but Recep guided me throughout the way, he asked about my preferences, if I had a good side, showed me how to pose, and he made sure all my good angles were captured. He is also very friendly and will make you feel comfortable and relaxed for the pictures. The locations were beautiful as well and he gave me a little tour about them. My photos were absolutely amazing!! Book with him if you want beautiful pictures of yourself in Istanbul!

Absolutely incredible experience! Recep is an amazing photographer and a truly knowledgeable local guide. I did a solo session at 7:30 AM, and the morning light was perfect (10/10)—it was completely worth the early start! We visited many stunning, iconic locations, and I learned a surprising amount about the history and culture of Istanbul along the way. The final pictures were beyond gorgeous! I would highly, highly recommend this session, especially as a way to kick off your trip since it doubles as a wonderful city tour.

We got married in Istanbul. My wife is from Iran and I am from the States. We had so many things to do in one week to make this happen. But we both agree as it was just the two of us here, the greatest moment was having our pictures taken by Recep. We were not expecting such a moment of celebration from one picture to the next. He was such a gentleman and professional from start to finish he truly captured the spirit of why we were getting married and he showed it through his paintings of pictures!!! Bravo 🙌

Sultanahmet Was amazing photographer. He was so patient and kind from the get go. I get so awkward posing for pics but he guided me through it and photos turned out amazing . He made sure I had an amazing experience and also adjusted the time on a rainy day so I can still get all my beautiful pics .

Recep is great. He is friendly, easy to work with and do not rush you. He gives you good tips, and makes you comfortable. Will look him up again if I get to visit Istanbul again.

It is my First time in Istanbul and I wanted to have Great Photos. Recep is a very polite and talented photographer! I‘ve for no experiences in posing but he gives you a great feeling and a lot of tips. We‘ve visited so many good Spots and I‘m in live with the results. He takes time and don‘t rush you. When you visit Istanbul, you have to meet Recep!! Thank you so much

Absolutely amazing! Recep walks you through everything in a very professional way and shares great tips at every step. I loved how the photos turned out. If you need a photographer in Istanbul, Recep is definitely your guy.

He is an amazing photographer — very professional, patient, and committed. He took beautiful shots of me in all the locations I wanted. His editing was outstanding, and everyone who saw the photos kept telling me how stunning they are . He truly made my experience unforgettable.

Recep was absolutely amazing. He has all the best spots and gave plenty of recommendations for the rest of my trip for places to go and eat that aren't as tourist. I've already been recommending him to random people I meet on other tours.

The photographer took so many great quality shots. I am very picky and he exceed my expectations. He was on time and very professional. I highly recommend this photographer.

Before I give my review, I will give my advice. Look no further. Recep went above and beyond to give me the best possible souvenirs of Istanbul I could ever wish for. Recep is kind, caring, and professional. He has such an incredible eye. He knows exactly where and when to capture the perfect shots. He actually rescheduled my appointment from 5pm to early morning for that reason, and I couldn't have been happier. The streets were almost empty, which gave him the opportunity to work his magic, which he did. Traveling solo means lots of scenery shots. Hiring Recep gave me beautiful photos of myself in the most amazing locations. Recep is not only a 5☆ photographer. He is also wonderful company. I enjoyed my time with him immensely. I couldn't be more pleased with the choice I made. His reviews do not lie. Thank you, Recep, for preserving my memories on film. I can not thank you enough!

Amazing professional photographer! Guided me to the best spots and made posing feel so natural. Can’t wait to book him again when I visit Istanbul with my family.

Wow, where do I even start? Rejep was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we met him, we felt completely at ease. Normally we’re super awkward in front of the camera, but he had this amazing way of making us relax, laugh, and actually enjoy ourselves while posing. He showed us all the top spots in Istanbul, but somehow managed to steer us away from the crowds so it felt like we had the city to ourselves. What I loved most is how kind and thoughtful he was the whole time. He was so patient with us, flexible with whatever we needed—even helping us find a bathroom when we asked (a lifesaver 😅)—and gave us great tips about the city along the way. It felt less like a “tour” and more like hanging out with a good friend who just happens to be an insanely talented photographer. And the photos? Absolutely stunning. He captured Istanbul in such a magical way, and looking at them brings me right back to those moments. We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. If you’re in Istanbul and even thinking about booking a photographer—stop thinking and just do it. You’ll feel comfortable, you’ll have fun, and you’ll walk away with memories that are truly priceless. Plus, you'll make a new friend in Istanbul.

Recep is very professional and communicative. He suggested a good plan so that we can cover multiple places in limited time. He was very kind to me and my daughter, so we really had fun during the fotoshooting which is visible at our smiling faces pictured by the beautiful photos. He was punctual at sending the row pictures and the finished one. I recommend him with my heart!

Highly recommended. Recep was incredibly wholesome and easy to work with. Despite my introversion and general discomfort around being photographed, Recep made the process very easy and I got a lot of great photos out of the experience. He is a great person to talk with to learn more about the local culture, food recommendations, and just generally to have a friend if you're looking for one. As everyone else had mentioned, turnaround time is fast, and as an added bonus, he helped schedule a low-cost cab ride back to the airport on the day I had to depart. Thanks Recep! Hope to see you again in the future.

I booked the session with Recep based on other clients' review and photography. After the session, I'm positively surprised by the result. I'd recommend Recep without hesitation!

Recep is simply amazing—so easy to vibe with and knows all the best photo spots around Istanbul. His shots turned out incredible! We always hire a local photographer whenever we travel, and Recep is hands-down one of the best. Definitely an A+ experience—I’d rebook him in a heartbeat!

Recep was seriously the best photographer. His instructional abilities are second to none and I love that he shoots so second by second moments which allows him to capture the perfect moment. He tells you how to pose and helps you get it right. He is very patient! The editing was timely and beautiful as well. He’s very easy to work with and makes the shoot fun. I honestly wish he lived in my country so that I can use him all the time. I wish she took our wedding pictures he is that good!
