Thank you for visiting my website and being part of this journey with me!
Hello, I’m Erel Turkay, a passionate landscape photographer based in the Netherlands. Photography has been a lifelong love for me, and over the years, it has evolved from a hobby into a deep-seated calling. Through my lens, I seek to capture the stunning beauty of the world around us—whether it's the serene landscapes of my home country or the inspiring scenes I encounter while traveling.
The quiet elegance of a misty morning, the dramatic contrast of the sky, dance of the light and shadow and the delicate interplay of colors at sunrise and sunset—these are the kinds of scenes that inspire me and fuel my creative process. I strive to bring those moments to life through my photography.
For me, photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about connecting with the world. Every image I create tells a story, capturing the mood and emotion of a place at a specific moment in time. Whether I’m documenting the calm beauty of a countryside or the rugged coastlines of distant lands, I approach each scene with reverence and a sense of wonder.
I also believe that photography is a way to reconnect with nature in a world that is increasingly fast-paced and disconnected. Through my work, I hope to inspire others to appreciate the fleeting beauty of our planet, to slow down, and to take a moment to observe the world with the same sense of awe and curiosity that I do. Therefore, my motto about photography is: LOSE YOURSELF IN THE LANDSCAPE, FIND YOURSELF IN THE PHOTOGRAPHY.
