When I was studying at Emerson College. I first had this idea of a runway that takes place in the subway, street sidewalks, a path in residential areas, or busy downtown. Soon, a picture of a runway fashion show taking place in our daily living environment but at night popped into my head.

A FASHION SHOW AT NIGHT! 

Once I had the ideas, I started my location hunting by walking around the Boston area when the sun dimmed. Location included Green Line Subway： Prudential, Christian Science Park, South End Residential, the Common Park, and Downtown Crossing. 

The scheduling process was taken very seriously since all the shoots occurred after 11 PM. The crew members and the models' times were scheduled two months ahead of the dates. Once the schedule was confirmed, I planned and conducted fashion workshops with all our models to create the outfits they felt most comfortable with and noted who would be in which locations. Including myself, we had five models in total, and a three-person crew including a camera operator, a gaffer, and me the director. We spent seven nights shooting in Boston. Each night, there were different models at different locations, and on the last two nights, we had everyone together to finish the final group scene. 

Summer Camp Marketing Content

This video was made for a local summer camp at Western, MA. While I was working at American Western Academy, part of my duties were producing contents for the school. I set up the lights, camera and also did the editing.

Nazan Nihal - Nerdesin?

This project was my first music video for Nazan Nihal, an influential singer from Turkey, now based in Boston.

From brainstorming the story and planning the shoot to scheduling the actors and post-production. I handled every stage of the creative process including directing, editing, and color-gradeding to final delivery.
