📸 Photography Journey

My photography journey began with a fascination for black-and-white family photographs. I would spend hours going through countless images, often looking for stories behind the faces of those no longer with us, and discovering little notes or dates written on the back of photos. This sparked my passion to explore the emotional depth behind each photograph.

Although analog photography was captivating, I often felt limited by the inability to develop my own photos. The introduction of digital cameras, DSLRs, and mobile phone cameras brought more freedom and creativity into my hands, enabling me to fully express my ideas.

Instead of taking a conventional photography course, I pursued an Associate Degree in Photography and Camera Operation from Anadolu University’s Open Education Faculty, deepening my knowledge and formalizing my passion.

Life has been a constant rush, and I’ve never had the time to dive fully into photography. Now, with my long-standing domain ‘goker.in’, I’m finally embarking on this personal project to explore moods — hoping this journey brings me the healing I seek.

As part of this process, I’ve also extended my custom GPT “Goker-ish” with a photography critique capability. It evaluates photos like an art school teacher — helping others learn, and helping me grow along the way.
