Yavuz, a highly renowned photographer, competed in international photographic competitions until 2014, winning prestigious awards. His work was displayed on the billboards of NYC’s Times Square in 2010—years before the NFT space would recognize digital artistry. Between 2010 and 2015, he executed four major projects, including an acclaimed documentary chronicling the harsh realities of coal miners in Zonguldak, Turkey called ‘Faces From A Shift In The Coal Mine’.

His impact extends beyond personal achievements. Yavuz became the first and only Turkish photographer to have his documentary works included in the FIAP Diaporama (AV) Collection. One of his proudest milestones was winning the grand prize in the 2012 CGAP-World Bank Organization contest. In 2014, he shifted his focus from competitions to freelancing, allowing him greater creative freedom.
