Hey! I’m Filiz

I’m a professional photographer and videographer

I’m based in Stockholm, Sweden but I’m always happy to travel wherever a good story takes me.

Before photography and filmmaking I spent years as a professional Muay Thai fighter. During those years, I started creating my own content and somewhere along the way I fell completely in love with having a camera in my hands. I knew I wanted to pursue it properly, and I also knew I wanted to finish what I started in the ring first. So I waited.

When I had reached my goals in fighting, photography and filmmaking were the obvious next chapter.

There’s actually a lot more of fighter mentality in the way I work than you might think. I love how a camera makes you fully present. To notice things, and react. And, just like in Martial Arts, there is always something new to learn and a way to get better.

I also love the process just at much as the final result. Taking an idea and turning it into a plan. Finding the right locations, figuring out the details, trying things that might not work, and then sitting down to edit it all together and watching the final piece come to life. That part never gets old.

One of the favorite things when i’m working with people is making them completely comfortable infront of the camera. To have them gain confidence and genuinely enjoy being there. That’s when the best images happens.

That’s probably what I love most about what I do, taking something that starts as an idea and watching it become something real.

Interested in working with me?
