Necip Baykara

BIOGRAPHY / ANKARA, 1979

Necip Baykara completed his graduate studies in the branch of “Art Policies” by defending the thesis titled “Influences of Oppressions and Deprivations On Western Art of Painting.” He is currently involved with his doctorate studies in the “Science of Art” at Işık University. He received technical training on photography at Istanbul and Los Angeles. Together with the Semiotician Prof. Dr. Nükhet Güz, he conducted the course of “Photography and Visual Perception” for half a semester at Beykoz Logistics Vocational High School. He realized his first personal exhibition titled “Unrelated”, comprising of twenty photographs in April 2015.

The reason for Necip Baykara to start with photography, in which he was interested ever since his childhood, consisted in the motivation of catching the “moment” (carpe diem) and detaining it. Therefore, Baykara shoots his photographs without any set-up and plan, inspired by the synergy of towns, solely witnessing such image at the current instant. His objective while shooting photographs consists of extensions that the observer is acquainted with viewfinders that are not familiar. In his photographs that are plain at figurative level and encompassing structuralism, leaves the narration to the audience and aims that everyone finds and assumes his/her own story.
