Mert Atakan is a photographer and visual artist based in Melbourne, Australia. 2009 was the year that he first had his hands on a camera but it wasn’t until years later he started taking photos on a regular basis which started off as a hobby to escape the daily struggles of life, it then quickly became his go-to activity in his free time. He always shoots and collects components to create a dramatic feeling in his work as he thinks an image is more than just another cork that feeds the loop habit of the devil machines called social media. To him, it is paramount to stop the viewers and make them see and hear what the image is trying to deliver.
