Burcu Ertunç is a photographer and artist based in Bursa, Turkey. She holds degrees in Business Administration, Psychology and a master’s degree in Organisational Psychology. She studied photography at Spéos International Photography Institute in Paris and graduated from the Photography and Camera Operation Diploma Program at Anadolu University in Turkey.
Her photographic practice is grounded in an interest in the relationship between inner experience and photographic representation. Working primarily with portraiture and conceptual photography, she explores how identity and emotional states are expressed, perceived, and constructed through images. Influenced by photo-therapy and her background in psychology, she increasingly engages with collaborative and participatory practices, exploring photography’s potential to foster self-awareness, reflection, and a deeper understanding of personal experience.
Ertunç has exhibited her work in group and solo exhibitions in Turkey, including at the 15th Bursa International Photography Festival (FotoFest 2025), where she presented her personal exhibition Woman-Being Vol. 1. Her work has also been exhibited at the Denef Huvaj Conceptual Photography Workshop’s group exhibition The Story of Objects(2026), the Vizör Group exhibition Chain (2025) at Nazım Hikmet Cultural Centre in Bursa, and the BODFAD group exhibition Akaf 23 (2023) at the Artemisia Exhibition Centre in Bodrum. In 2024, she was selected through the open call of the 14th Bursa International Photography Festival (FotoFest) for Urban Defiance, presenting a series of six photographs.
