Storytelling Photography & Videography
With over 20 years of experience, I offer professional headshots, branding, and portraits, alongside social media content, documentaries, and corporate videos. From events and private parties to concerts, I capture every moment with a storytelling approach.
Meet Ben Bülent Doruk
I have worked internationally as an award-winning photojournalist, with my work
published in TIME, National Geographic, and many other global outlets.
This background continues to shape the way I approach photography today.
Based in New York City and New Jersey, I produce photo and video work for
companies, brands, and individuals. My work spans commercial projects, headshots, event coverage, and social media content. With an editorial perspective, I focus on creating simple, honest visuals that feel real and lasting.
What I offer
Headshot and Portraits
Every portrait is a presence and a story. My goal is to capture the real you—stiff, over-posed shots have no place here. From confident headshots to personal portraits, I shape the light and direction to create timeless images that truly reflect your character.
Event and Parties
Moments don’t repeat. I work with a documentary approach—observing, not interrupting. Whether it’s a corporate gathering or a private celebration, I capture the laughter, details, and atmosphere exactly as they unfold, telling the full story of your event naturally.
Branding
Today’s consumers value authenticity over perfect staging. By approaching branding through a documentary lens, I capture the genuine moments that reflect your spirit. I immortalize your brand’s true story with a timeless, compelling aesthetic.
Videography
Your story is even stronger in motion. For interviews and brand films, I keep it simple and honest. No heavy effects—just real expressions and strong visuals. My job is to help your story come across clearly, authentically, and memorably.
