ARDA ÜZMEZ

I’m Arda Üzmez, a Director of Photography and cinematographer based in Istanbul. I’m a member of the Cinematographers’ Association of Turkey (GYD), and I love building cinematic visuals across feature films, commercials, documentaries, and music videos. From lighting and camera movement to on-set focus, I aim to create images that feel both crafted and emotionally grounded.

I’ve worked on a wide range of productions—story-led feature titles, TVCs for major brands, and music videos for artists—alongside documentary and special projects. I also bring hands-on experience with professional cinema camera systems such as ARRI Alexa, RED, and cinema-ready workflows, and I’m comfortable collaborating with creative teams to deliver consistent results from planning through final capture.
