Nur Guzeldere is a Turkish photographer and filmmaker currently studying at Pratt Institute and living in Brooklyn, NYC. She completed an International Baccalaureate program which included advanced-level history and cinema classes. She co-founded an online arts literary magazine, 9 Magazine (9-magazine.com), and was the co-editor from 2018 to 2021. Co-editing of the magazine’s website gave her the platform to meet emerging artists in Istanbul, and working on photoshoots and sets together made her realize that being behind the camera truly brought her joy. She worked as an editor’s assistant for the 16th Istanbul Art Biennial “Seventh Continent”, as well as assisting Turkish photographers Yonca Muslubas and Suzan Pektas. She moved to NYC in 2021 to pursue an undergraduate degree in film and has taken nonfiction filmmaking classes which was a pivotal moment for her documentary storytelling and photojournalism. Her photography is an attempt at reflecting her own most vulnerable, emotional, and open version to ever exist. She tends to choose subjects familiar to her and portray her own young womanhood experiences. She is currently working at Photoreal, a film lab located in Brooklyn.
