Professional Portraits, by Pamira Bezmen. Cenk Aydin was named one of the most influential and powerful young global leaders in the world in 2010 by the World Economic Forum. He is a Birtish-Turkish banker, and one of the founders and managing partners of Halikarnas Financial Services & Advisory, HFSA. He is a dear friend of mine from college and now a client I am proud to have the opportunity to photograph.

I met with Cenk at his office in Bebek, Istanbul (Turkey), situated at the top of a little hill overlooking the Bosphorous.  We moved from floor to floor in the office building, looking for the perfect light and setting to not only capture his best portrait, but also to reflect his genuine, elegant and smart syle.

After years of leading financial teams from New York and London, Cenk has recently moved to Istanbul, Turkey, to be close to his darling daughter and to found a financial institution that has a morally driven agenda as well as high standards for financial success.

I am hopeful that the images I have captured adequately reflect Cenk's leadership qualities, as well as his strengths as a trustworthy, moral and smart global leader who prioritizes integrity and the human element of business endeavors.
