Cem
Bayoğlu

Cem Bayoglu was born in Izmir, Turkey, in 1977. Although he studied in the Electrical Department at Dokuz Eylül University due to his family’s business, his interest in the arts began at an early age, with music and photography always taking centre stage.

In 2013, he created One Billion Suffers, a photography series addressing violence against women and supporting the global One Billion Rising campaign. The exhibition was presented in Turkey and internationally.

Since 2018, his fine art photography has been exhibited at fairs and galleries in major art destinations, including Paris Maison&Objet, Ibiza, Miami, Berlin, Istanbul, Rome and Barcelona.

In 2022, he published 50 Yolcu, a concept-driven photography book featuring 50 prominent figures from Turkey and recognised as the first project of its kind in the world.

Throughout his career, Bayoglu has photographed numerous well-known personalities and worked with leading brands and organisations across portrait, fashion and architectural photography. His work also extends to directing commercials and music videos.

Driven by curiosity, creativity and a constant desire to evolve, Cem continues to learn, explore and produce new work.
