Ahmet Polat

Boy sunbathing

Ahmet Polat (Roosendaal, 1978) is a young Dutch-Turkish photographer working between Amsterdam and Istanbul. Born of a Dutch mother and a Turkish father, Polat made photographing diversity his leitmotif.

In 2005, shortly after the murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, he decided to leave the Netherlands for a few years and settle in Istanbul. 
Both in his autonomous and commercial work, Polat's signature is evident: meticulous in composition, enigmatic in content, and expressing an overall warm-hearted curiosity for human relations.
