Description

I'm Mehmet Turan, founder of 35milimetre, a post-production and design agency based in Istanbul, Turkey. I've been working in post-production for over 26 years, specializing in image manipulation, compositing, CGI, retouching, illustration, and packaging design.

Over the course of my career, I've had the opportunity to work with well-known global brands, including Google, Sony, Toshiba, Ford, Renault, Peugeot, and McDonald's. That kind of work has shaped how I approach quality and what "done properly" actually means in this industry.

Since 2018, Creativepool has consistently listed me as a top influencer and recognized my work as a retoucher and 3D artist — something I'm genuinely proud of since it comes from the community rather than self-promotion.

I'm also co-founder of Diapolis Images, a concept house focused on advertising and still visuals that blend CGI and photography into a seamless whole.

More recently, I've been developing my work in AI image generation, which is adding an interesting new dimension to what we can offer clients. At 35 millimeters, we're a small team, three core people, which means projects stay personal and get real attention from start to finish.

35milimetre is a boutique post-production and design studio based in Istanbul, Turkey. We specialize in high-end image retouching, compositing, CGI, custom illustration, and packaging design; essentially, if it involves visualization, we can handle it.
We work with advertising agencies, brands, startups, and professional photographers who need visuals that go beyond the ordinary. Over the years, our work has reached clients across Europe, Australia, and the USA, including collaborations with some well-known names in technology and automotive.
What makes us different isn't just the range of what we do — it's how we approach it. We're a small, focused team of artists with decades of advertising experience between us, which means every project gets genuine attention rather than being passed down a production line. We work closely with clients from the early concept stage through to final delivery, and we're flexible enough to adapt as a project evolves.
We've recently expanded into AI-assisted image generation, which is opening up interesting new possibilities for the kind of work we take on. If you'd like to see how we think and what we make, our portfolio is at 35milimetre.com.
