Ozan Aydogan is an analogue photographer based in Amsterdam. He is fascinated by the twilight zone between hope and melancholy, the poetic larger than life and the everyday and ordinary. His work strongly breathes his love for human beings and nature. Going to and fro between portraits of strangers on the gritty streets of Amsterdam and the birds floating weightlessly in the sky above them.

Also being an actor and a poet, Ozan has worked with some of the greatest theater companies of the world, including International Theater Amsterdam under artistic leadership of Ivo van Hove. In 2018 he won the National Poetry Slam Championship of the Netherlands and became 5th of the world at the World Poetry Slam Championship in Paris.
Ozan is writing his debut novel that's expected to be published in the late fall of 2026.

Solace City
In his analogue photography series ‘Solace City’, Ozan Aydogan (Alkmaar, 1993) points his lens towards fleeting moments of humanity in an ever so digitalising society. In an attempt to find emotional reality in a world that’s being dominated by artificial intelligence, media narratives and political counterpoles. If we dare to look at one another, we may recognise ourselves. When we recognise ourselves, we will no longer feel alone. When we will no longer feel alone, we will find solace. All works of ‘Solace City’ are unique 1/1 editions and will never be printed again.

Children of Icarus
In his series 'Children of Icarus' he observed birds above the busy streets of Amsterdam, capturing baroque images of light and shadow, thunderclouds and ever busy birds finding their way through them. The prints of this edition are available for purchase in limited editions of 10 prints per work.
