Our Photographer was just the best. He picked some great locations and made us feel very comfortable and at ease. The pictures turned out great, and I’m excited to share them with friends. When on vacation sometimes it’s really hard to get a good picture. You either have to do a selfie or ask strangers and the pictures are never the best. So hiring the photographer is the perfect way to capture. Great memories.
Very kind and make you feel comfortable for the pictures I highly recommend it Also he took me places and accepted suggestions hearing me with attention Thank you very much for the wonderful experience
It was a great experience working with Mr Abbas. He's a wonderful, kind, and a very supportive person, makes sure you're comfortable, enjoying and will make the experience memorable. My wife and I came Istanbul on our honeymoon. We wanted to make it memorable so I decided to book a photoshoot. After alot research, I saw Istagrapher page on Instagram and was amazed by his photography skills so had to gor for it. I booked our photoshoot before I even arrived to Istanbul. We chose 2 locations from the ones he gave, Ortakoy and The Rooftop Istanbul. The locations we went were magical with the perfect shots taken by him. I can’t say enough about how professional Abbas is and the quality of work that he provides. He accommodated us to the second location, while enroute he showed us our photos, sent us the videos with music he made from the first location, on reaching he provided us with water and gave us some time to get refreshed. The photographs and the poses he suggested were beyond beautiful, Loved each of them. All the unedited photos were sent us on the same day of shooting. Out of generousity he also edited an extra photo for us. This shall always be one of our favourite shoots ever. I will highly recommend others to get in touch and book him, if you are ever going to visit Turkey then he is the ONE! He truly is the best photographer in Istanbul. Thanks Abbas.
Amazing photographer really kind and professional very polite and sociable and it was my best experience for photoshots in whole of my life
I had a great time with Abbas, he is friendly and very accommodating. I was a solo traveller and wanted to take some memories back, I am glad I booked this service. Don't be nervous if you are a camera shy like me, he clearly knows what he does and has great eye to detail and will make you comfortable. I loved the photos and the process, definitely recommend.

There was so many options here for the same purpose but I was lu ky enough to choose Abbas.. First of all, he is pleasant to deal with and very punctual.. I enjoyed my time at the session and he knew how to advise on the sun reflection and the body posture. Eventually my pictures were amazing and lively! He even edited two extra and provided me with 2 videos. It's absolutely worth it and I would recommend going to the location around the sunset time.

So quickly I got a photo for the first time! All the photos were sent to us on the day of shooting, after which we chose the photos for retouching and again received them on the same day. The photo session itself was easy and fun. Abbas helped pose all the time. Recommended places for beautiful photos.

I came to Istanbul for a milestone birthday with my husband Dec. 2020 and I wanted to document the moment. After some research, I can across Abbas via instagram and booked him right away. I could not have been more pleased with his services and he went out of his way to make sure we got some beautiful shots. His energetic and outgoing personality made him very easy to work with and we had such a wonderful time. The turn around for the photos was insanely fast and we received them before our trip was even over. I am so happy I (we) had to opportunity to work with him! I highly recommend!
