Yavuz Sariyildiz

I am a self-taught documentary and travel photographer from Istanbul, Turkey. I have been taking pictures for 20 years. I joined many international photography contests until 2014 and was awarded, after 2014 I decided to concentrate more on freelance work instead of competitions. Many of my photographs in competitions were awarded and exhibited.I am the first and only Turkish photographer whose documentary works were taken into the FIAP diaporama (AV) collection. Another prize which made me very proud; as well as other awards, the grand prize I received from CGAP - World Bank Organization - 2012 contest with a particular photograph which had been exhibited also in digital billboards in NYC Times Square. My photos were published in many local and international magazines and photo training books. I continue to produce.
