About Me
Berk Eskinazi
Hey, I’m Berk. I’m a 17-year-old Turkish American from Charlotte with a passion for capturing stories through a camera.
​
Photography started with me taking pictures of my friends playing basketball, but it quickly turned into something much bigger. I realized how powerful visuals can be, how a single frame can show emotion, energy, and personality all at once. That mindset led me to create ShotByBerk LLC, where I help athletes and brands share their stories through photo and video.
​
As a former basketball player, I understand the rhythm of the game, the focus before a play, and the emotion after a win. I use that experience to capture moments that really matter.
When I’m not shooting, I’m usually training, traveling, or finding new ways to grow my business and improve my craft one frame at a time.
