Ayşe Dilan Taylan is a photographer and visual storyteller based in Istanbul, Türkiye. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Studies from Ringling College of Art and Design, with minors in Photography and Film Studies.

Her photographic practice spans documentary, street, portrait, and staged photography. She is particularly interested in everyday life, cultural traditions, personal histories, and the relationships between people and the places they inhabit.

In 2023, following the earthquakes in southeastern Türkiye, she directed Karaziyaret, a documentary film exploring the experiences of pigeon keepers in Kahramanmaraş. Through interviews and firsthand observation, the project deepened her interest in how cultural practices and personal connections persist through periods of change.

Alongside her photography, she works professionally as a Digital Imaging Technician in film and television production. Her experience in cinematography, digital imaging, and post-production informs both the technical and creative aspects of her visual work.

Her approach to photography is grounded in observation, curiosity, and an interest in the stories found within ordinary moments.
