Petek ARICI

I am an artist, a photographer, a local business owner, and a mother — living and creating in beautiful East Sussex, UK.

I graduated from Marmara University, one of Turkey’s most respected Fine Arts faculties, with a degree in Fine Arts and Art Education. My background in art has always shaped how I see the world — and continues to inspire every photograph I take today.

My journey into photography began while working in the private sector. As life grew busier and time for painting became limited, I turned to photography as a new creative language. It allowed me to observe people, capture emotions, and tell stories in a new and exciting way.

Since 2006, I have been working as a photographer for Getty Images, developing my own distinctive style that blends artistic sensitivity with professional photography techniques.

My Work & Style As an East Sussex-based photographer, I specialise in portrait photography, wedding photography, family photography, and fine art nude photography across East Sussex, London and the South East of England.

People are always at the heart of my work. I am endlessly inspired by human connection, intimacy, and everyday beauty. My style is natural, emotional, and timeless — focusing on life, love, femininity, and inner worlds.

My photography and painting often feed into each other — both allowing me to explore stories, emotions, and moments that matter.

Over the years, my work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. One of my proudest projects, “Kadın İçin Kadın / Woman for Woman”, was shown in London, Washington DC, and Urfa, supporting women’s organisations and celebrating women’s voices.

Creating ArtPhotographer In 2019, I moved from Istanbul to England with my daughter, settling in East Sussex. Here, I founded my own photography business — ArtPhotographer — where I continue to do what I love most: capturing real people and real stories.

Today, I offer creative photography services in East Sussex, Brighton, London and the surrounding areas. My work includes:

- Wedding and Engagement Photography
- Portrait Photography (including Business & Social Media Portraits)
- Family Photography
- Nude & Boudoir Photography
- Dance & Movement Photography
- Travel & Lifestyle Photography

My Approach For me, photography is always personal. I believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable, relaxed, and beautiful in front of the camera — even if it’s their very first time.

From our first conversation to the final delivery of your images, I’ll be there to guide you, listen to your story, and help you feel at ease. Together, we’ll create photographs that not only look beautiful — but feel like you.

These images will become part of your story. Something you will treasure in years to come.

I would love to hear from you and capture your story.
