For over twenty years we've captured the most beautiful holiday moments on the Turkish Riviera — for families, couples and everyone who wants to take home more than just phone snapshots.
Since 2003 we've welcomed guests from all over the world to the Turkish Riviera. More than 10,000 families, couples and holidaymakers have captured their most precious moments with us — and taken them home as a framed print for the living room, a photo album or a fine-art print.
We bring out the best in every person — relaxed, with an eye for the right moment and the most beautiful light on the coast.
We lived in Germany for many years — with us you're warmly looked after in German, English or Russian.
Print, file or a fine photo album: you take your most beautiful holiday moments home in tangible form.
Whether the whole family, a couple in love or a quiet moment in the golden evening light — we create pictures that keep your holiday alive forever.
The whole family on holiday — a picture that hangs on the wall at home and still tells stories twenty years from now. Our daily labour of love.

Every day we accompany families at the hotel — for a relaxed shoot on the beach, in the garden or during the golden hour. The result: over two decades full of pictures that today hang in living rooms across Europe.
Photos showing children are only ever displayed or published with the explicit consent of the parents. Your pictures are never shared without your agreement — discretion always comes first for us.

Relaxed, with our team on the beach, in the garden or during the golden hour. We bring out the best in you.
Every image is carefully edited by hand until light, colours and mood are just right.
At your leisure you look through the finished shots and choose only the pictures you truly want to keep.
As a print, a digital file or a fine photo album — you take your holiday memories home with you.
No staged studio moments — real shoots, real joy. A look at our work and the people we get to accompany.
“Our couple photos at sunset turned out like a dream. Mesut captured exactly the lightness that made our holiday so special.”
“We've never felt so at ease in front of a camera. He takes away every bit of nervousness — and the photos look like they're straight out of a glossy magazine.”
“Our family holiday in Evrenseki — at last a picture with all of us laughing together. It now hangs in the living room and makes us happy every single day. Absolutely recommended.”
“Booked spontaneously on holiday and it was the best decision. Easy-going, friendly, and the pictures in the sunset are simply a dream.”
That's exactly what we're here for. Most of our guests have never stood in front of a professional camera — after five minutes you'll have forgotten all the tension.
We always find a way. When it's cloudy the light is often even softer — and for every plan we have a plan B up our sleeve.
You receive all final shots in high resolution for free private use. Discretion is a matter of course for us.
With us you don't pay a cent in advance. The shoot is free for you. Only once you've seen the finished, edited pictures do you choose at your leisure — and pay only for the shots you truly want to take home.
So you have nothing to lose — only your most beautiful holiday memory to gain.
We lived in Germany for many years and today pour our whole heart into Polat Photography every day. Our mother tongue is Turkish, and we also speak fluent German, English and Russian — and love nothing more than bringing out the best in every person.
The eye behind Polat Photography since 2003. With calm, patience and a feel for the perfect moment, we show you exactly as you most like to see yourselves.
In post-production we get the very last out of every shot — light, colours and mood down to the detail. That's how every picture turns out perfect.
The warm face that welcomes you. We make sure you feel at ease from the very first moment — relaxed, personal and in your language.
It's easy: write to us via the contact form, by email or on WhatsApp. As our studio is right inside the Aydinbey King's Palace & Spa, we're quick to reach for guests on site — but of course we'll join you anywhere along the coast.
Yes. The entire process can be handled in English — from the first enquiry to choosing your pictures. On request also in German or Russian.
The “golden hour” just before sunset conjures the most beautiful, softest light — our favourite time for couples on the beach. But early mornings or cloudy hours have their own charm too. We'll advise you depending on your wishes and the location.
Ideally something you feel comfortable in and that suits the setting — light, flowing fabrics look wonderful on the beach. After booking we'll give you concrete tips on colours and outfits that come across especially well on camera.
Not at all — quite the opposite. The vast majority of our guests have never stood professionally in front of a camera. We guide you calmly through every situation, and after the first few minutes you'll forget the camera all by yourself.
As a rule your pictures are ready within a single day. And if things need to move fast — for instance when you leave the next day — we often hand them over the very same day as a print or a finished photo album.
Wherever it's most beautiful: on the beaches of Side and Evrenseki, in the gardens and by the pools of the resorts, on rocks by the water or at hidden favourite spots only the locals know.
Often yes — but especially in high season we recommend enquiring a few days ahead so we can reliably reserve your preferred date and the best light.
We always find a solution. When it's cloudy the light is often especially soft and flattering. Should the weather really not cooperate, we'll easily move to another day of your stay.
Through a private online gallery from which you can download all shots in high resolution — conveniently from anywhere, with no time pressure.
Very much so! Whether a large family, several generations or a group of friends — we bring everyone together for a relaxed picture. Family photos on holiday are our daily passion.
The shoot itself is completely free — the appointment and the shots cost you nothing. Only after editing do you see the finished pictures and pay only for the shots you truly want to keep. With no upfront payment and no risk.
Tell us briefly about your occasion and your preferred date — we'll get back to you personally, usually within 24 hours. The enquiry is free and without obligation.
