Hello!
I was born in 1985 and belong to a generation that witnessed the rapid transition from a purely analog world to the digital age.
I hold a degree in Civil Engineering and an MBA. My career began with dam construction projects in remote areas, where being close to nature sparked my interest in photography. Over the years, I have managed industrial projects across different regions and countries.
What started as landscape photography evolved into a deep passion for birdwatching and wildlife photography after a chance encounter with a magpie. Today, chasing new species is my primary motivation to travel.
Beyond my professional life and photography, I am a dedicated Heavy Metal enthusiast, a bookworm, and a movie lover. On this website, you will mostly find my photographs, observations, and bird lists.
Best regards,
Volkan Donbaloglu
