Hi! My name is Ayşe.
IHi, I’m Ayşe Gürsöz — a photographer, cinematographer, and communications strategist based in Portland, Oregon. My work centers on human rights, climate justice, and revolutionary futurisms, with a deep commitment to ethical storytelling and amplifying the voices of grassroots movements. As a 2022 Revolutionary Storyteller for Photographers Without Borders and a member of Diversify Photo, I approach every project with care, precision, and a strong sense of responsibility to steward trust. Whether capturing compelling visuals or shaping strategic narratives, I’m passionate about creating work that inspires connection and uplifts community-led solutions. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me exploring new places with my dog, Bowie.
