Mehmet Ugur Infrared Gallery

I am a self-thought photographer with an interest at a wide spectrum of subjects. I lived in various parts of the world over 45 years, traveled a fair amount.
My hobby to photography started in 1980’s when i was occasionally allowed to touch my fathers 1978 Nikon FE with 35mm film.

Over the years, I could really never channel my interest and focus on a specific subject or object, like, for example a particular interest and obvious portfolio in only portrait or landscape photography.

I guess it comes from being always eccentrically curious to catch and document what the eye and mind can’t see and process.

The photo can be a split-second event, a moment that is too fast for the eye to process, or an accumulation of data that can be put into a single frame which is too much for the mind to grasp collectively as one, “the long exposure”, or even experimenting and with an eternal curious mind trying to see and understand what we physically can’t see – the broader spectrum going into InfraRed and UltraViolet.

I am not a professional photographer and definitely do not see myself a one of the good ones that are out there. But I am a curious person and positively enjoy photography. Not getting an interesting, amazing, spectacular shot each and every time does not desist my passion but only fuels my ambition to explore and learn more. Just get out there, experiment and have fun.
