Idil Sukan is an artist, writer & Creative Director working in Istanbul, developing work at the intersect between visual art and storytelling, marrying both digital technology & artisanal craft. Her acclaimed fine art commercial photographic portraiture photos are regularly seen across the UK press, album covers and sleeves and book covers. Her work has been formally acquired by the National Portrait Gallery. Exploring identities within one individual and the gaps between them - how we choose to portray ourselves, how our identity is shaped by a series of curated depictions of ourselves (photographs in social media, in the press, on our personal websites) in contrast to how we unwittingly come across to others. The different contextual identities we develop, socially, at work, or in photographs - simultaneously confessional yet carefully cultivated.
