Born in 1979, Omer Burcu Babadag is a self-taught Turkish photographer based in Istanbul. His work mainly focuses on human situations and daily life in different geographies. His interest in photography began in his early teenage years with color films and plastic cameras. After photographing in black and white during his study in engineering, he began experimenting with alternative color film-developing processes and techniques in later years. During his professional assignments and long-term stays in Colombia and the USA, he had chances to visit other geographies, Central and South America and Africa mostly. After participating in workshops with Nikos Economopoulos, he started to work solely in color photography. While continuing his career on global projects in the energy industry, he still photographs playful moments in life from his perspective and abstraction.

In 2018, he joined Zero Photos
