İBRAHİM KARAKÜTÜK (1990) lives and works in Ankara. 

He uses photography as a poetic and introspective medium, creating a personal visual language that shifts according to the emotional and thematic needs of each work. Rather than adhering to a fixed style, he employs photography as a flexible tool to record moments of tension, contradiction, serenity, and violence—reflecting his search for meaning and refuge in a chaotic world.

He has produced 6 books of which 4 are independent publications: 'Night Guest' (2025), ‘Vitrivirus Man’ (2013), ‘Babam’ (2014), ‘-3’ (2015) and ‘Harbor Bitch’ (Suimasen Editions, 2018). In 2017, he won the FUAM İstanbul Photobook Festival Dummy Book Award with ‘Wet Sorrow’ and it was published by MASA in May 2018. 

He had 2 solo exhibitions 'The Cave of the Starving Lion' and 'Zigzags in the Chest Cavity' at Galeri Nev, Ankara in 2024 and 2022 respectively. He took part in many group exhibitions at various venues such as Ark Culture, İstanbul (2025); Ka, Ankara (2025); CI Bloom, İstanbul (2023); Museum Evliyagil, Ankara (2021); Casa Art Space, Ankara (2019); Karşı Sanat, İstanbul (2019); İstanbul Photobook Festival (2019); International Più Libri Più Liberi Photobook Festival, Rome (2018) and DEPO, İstanbul (2017).

He has attended several workshops such as ‘Personal Storytelling’ by Arja Hyytiäinen, GAPO & SALT, İstanbul (2015); ‘Lütfen Kişisel Alınız!’ by GAPO, Ka, Ankara (2015) and ‘Never Ending Workshop’ by Orhan Cem Çetin, Ka, Ankara (2014-15).

He is one of the co-founders of Suimasen Editions and an affiliate of PLATFORM by GAPO.
