Serap Seker (Serap & Volkan)
Ambassador & Teacher from Turkey
My name’s Serap. My journey started with a question in a photography course 'What will you do after the course, Serap?'. I answered this question exactly like this 'I want to be a baby photographer and I will photograph babies from all over the world'. I started taking baby photos in 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey. After 5 years, I found myself in Toronto, Canada in 2018 and this is the best place to take baby's images from all over the world. I've photographed over 750 babies from 72 countries (still counting).
I’m the first and only Turkish photographer who accepted by NAPCP and INPA organizations.*
I have been teaching newborn safety and posing styles for photographers since 2016. I have a mission that I want to teach photographers continue how newborn safety is over everything. I believe that pictures aren’t our true purpose in life. Babies and families over pictures. Always!
