About Ilker Gurer Photography
I began my passion for photography in the summer of 2004 and I've been freelancing ever since for various publications in news and documentary. With my work I attempt to examine urban transformation and human strength when faced with hardship.
In 2006, I was nominated for the World Press Master Class from Turkey. Then in January 2007 I joined World Picture News as a news and assignment photographer. I've also worked as a photo editor for a Turkish daily newspaper and produced several personal projects to date. In October 2009, I joined Zuma Press as a contract photographer. Since 2010 I am back to Freelance Photography. I am specialized in Portrait,Lifestyle, and Editorial Photography, open for the assignments.
