How you manage to pull off such unusual and original photos so well really proves how talented you are. You are so in tune with your creativity it's seriously unbelievable. I'm glad to have you as a contact on flickr, because believe it or not, you inspire me so very much. You're a wonderful person, and I know you will achieve some big dreams of yours. Best of luck, you deserve every single bit of it " I think I wrote that about 6 months ago. Way before we actually got to know eachother. Barlas, you amaze me. I have never met anyone in the world who is like you and quite frankly I dont think I ever will because you are so unique and so amazing. I think you ought to know that when you hurt, my heart hurts. I've already said basically everything I want you to know about how much I care for you, but know this. Whenever you feel you have no one, I am there. Your photos have improved so dramatically, and I wish I could one day be as good as you are, truly. I love you and I thank you for everything you have done and continually do for me.

Baaaarlas, you are an amazing guy! I'm glad to have you with my virtual friend (: Your creative is awsome and your charisma is wonderful. I really love the concept of your pictures. U ROCK MAN!

Barlas. I do not know quite what to say here.. there is so much to say. Let's start with your work - the pure emotion in your pictures is so beautiful and breathtaking. All the portraits you take are so perfect, the natural light you can magically capture, your stunning use of light leaks, the bond between you, the camera and the person you are photographing is so strong and believable :) and your processing.. well, let's just say 'wow' to that. You are such a lovely person too, so inspiring! You are possibly one of my favourite contacts - due to your motivational comments you leave on my photos and your beautiful testimonial you left for me! Your photography is of such quality that leaves me in awe. Thanks so much, Barlas.

barlas, the best photographer i know. every single one of your pictures is like a perfect explosion of color and light, waiting to be captured by you. i don't really know where to begin, or even to end. i could go on forever. every picture is breath-taking, they say a picture is worth a thousand words; that's wrong. y… Read more

barlas, the best photographer i know. every single one of your pictures is like a perfect explosion of color and light, waiting to be captured by you. i don't really know where to begin, or even to end. i could go on forever. every picture is breath-taking, they say a picture is worth a thousand words; that's wrong. your pictures speak more, when i see one of them i know it's yours. so much emotion and feeling, a whole story or lifetime captured in one photograph, not many people can do that. not only are you an amazing photographer, but you are also an amazing person. i really don't know what i would do without you. so kind and encouraging. such an inspiration. anyone who doesn't know you is missing out, and the people that do know you are the luckiest people in the world. your smile lights up the world and your laugh just makes everyone happy. you deserve nothing but the best in life, you have the brightest future ahead of you. i hope you are always happy. i love you. never stop taking photographs, never stop being you.

Somnia has one of my favourite streams on Flickr. I don't view many regularly, but his is most certainly one, and I don't regret that. His photos blow me away and there's some which amaze me every time I see them. The emotion in each photo is incredible, and it's the depth to his thinking and photography that brings me back, again and again. And what is also incredible, is that he is so supportive of other photographers, including myself. That is a wonderful quality to have, and I appreciate that so much!

About time I did one of these for you, I think :) Barlas is a friend. Not just someone I've spoken to once and added to a list but someone I'd count as a genuine friend, and I'm lucky to have known him.

About time I did one of these for you, I think :) Barlas is a friend. Not just someone I've spoken to once and added to a list but someone I'd count as a genuine friend, and I'm lucky to have known him. Just one look through his stream shows just how talented a photographer he is; his work uses light and composition in genuinely magical ways, and his portraits seem to capture the essence of the person. If he's already this talented so young I can't wait to see what the future brings :) He is also a genuine inspiration through his encouragement. Nowadays just seeing that he's commented on my photos puts a smile on my face because he is endlessly lovely, enthusiastic and amiable. Definitely one of my favourite contacts, and like I said, a friend. I wish you all the best of luck for the future and university and can't wait to see how your stream continues to grow. Thank you, for everything x

Somnia(Dreams) has been one of my favorite contacts on flickr for quite awhile now - I am embarrassed to say that I do not know his first name! The first thing that I can say about him is that he is an extremely great contact to have here. He is such a kind person and always encouraging and supportive. He leaves such thoughtful and genuine comments, and is not just interested in promoting his own work but building up other people as well. He always takes time out of his day to support me and so many other people. He is simply a wonderful person. And when it comes to his photography, 'talented' is the word that comes to mind. His stream is so positive... so full of light and emotion. He has such a unique view of things - he catches the most beautiful angles. He has only been uploading on flickr for a short amount of time but he already has a beautiful portfolio. I always love reading his descriptions that he writes along with his photography and he seems so appreciative of other people. I hope that no matter what he is going through he continues to pick up his camera and let his emotions pour out through pictures... because he is such an inspiration to me and so many others. Whenever I need inspiration I can always come to his stream. I am lucky to call him a friend. He deserves so much happiness and success on this website and in life, and I wish him all the best!

Somnia's stream is breath taking and just hands down amazing. It's so rewarding to visit his stream just because every single upload is uplifting. Not only that but there's so much variety in his stream! I believe he is the king of contrast! He knows how to capture moments and make them look amazing with the right set … Read more
