Superyacht photographer, Turkey.

Bodrum, Göcek, Marmaris and the build yards. A coast that builds, refits and charters in the same hundred miles.

Three businesses on one coastline

Turkey does something no other market does in such a small space. New yachts are built at Antalya and Tuzla, large yachts are refitted in Bodrum and Yalova at a fraction of Mediterranean prices, and one of the biggest charter fleets in the eastern Med operates out of Göcek and Marmaris. A photographer working here shoots all three within a week.

Each one wants something different from the same boat. The yard wants the joinery and the paint, because that is the argument for buying Turkish. The refit yard wants before and after, which means two visits months apart with identical camera positions or the comparison is worthless. The charter operator wants the aft deck at seven in the evening with the table laid. I plan for whichever of the three is paying, and say so rather than delivering one set and hoping it covers everything.

What comes off the boat

How a session runs

Step 01

The brief

What the images are for: a sale, a charter season or the yard. That decides everything else.

Step 02

Aboard

Half a day to a day, in the order the crew can live with. I bring almost nothing with me.

Step 03

Delivery

Edited, cropped for every portal, position data stripped out of every file.
