About
An eye for the extraordinary, a name behind the lens.
Vakkas Aygül is an Istanbul-based fashion photographer, creative director and the founder of Fresh Models Magazin. Across two decades behind the lens, his work moves fluidly between haute-couture editorials, advertising campaigns, runway and film — pioneering a fully digital production workflow on Turkish film sets and shaping a new visual language for fashion media.

Approach
I don’t take pictures — I build the world a brand wants to live in.
Five ways to work together — each tied to real work and a clear outcome.
01
Editorial Production
Concept-to-cover editorial shoots — art direction, casting and post — in studio or on location.
02
Campaign Direction
Brand campaigns with a single creative vision across stills and motion, from treatment to delivery.
03
Brand Film
Reel-first direction — fashion films, campaign motion and behind-the-scenes for screen and social.
04
Casting & Talent
Scouting and the Fresh Models board — the right faces, developed and managed for the shoot.
05
Magazine Partnership
Cover stories and features placed in Fresh Models Magazin and Fresh Models TV.
