I am a cinematic videographer and video editor with 10+ years spanning cinema-style production and national broadcast media. I own the full pipeline — directing and shooting on Sony cinema bodies, then cutting, color grading and motion design for Reels, YouTube and brand films. Years in TV newsrooms built a fast, story-first edit instinct that I now pair with social strategy, graphic design and AI-assisted production, delivering in Turkish, German and English.
