Associate Member of Headshots Matter
I’m Gül Deriş Bayram, an Istanbul-based portrait photographer specialising in professional headshots, executive portraits and personal branding photography.
I work with professionals, founders, senior executives and teams who want portraits that feel natural, confident and credible. My sessions are calm, guided and thoughtfully prepared, so people know what to do without ever feeling over-directed or posed.
With a background in corporate communications, marketing and brand management, I understand both sides of the camera: how people feel during a portrait session, and how the final image needs to work in a professional context. I photograph individuals in my studio and also work on location with companies and teams across Istanbul.
