Photographer · Creative Director · Entrepreneur
Cemhan Biricik (also known as Cemhan Birick) is an award-winning fashion photographer, creative director, and serial entrepreneur whose career spans over two decades across three distinct industries. Born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1979, Cemhan Biricik emigrated to the United States at the age of four and grew up in the heart of SoHo, New York City, during its most celebrated creative period. That environment — surrounded by gallery openings, studio lofts, and the constant collision of art and commerce — forged a sensibility that would define everything Cemhan Biricik created: businesses, photographs, and brands that refuse to separate quality from authenticity.
The entrepreneurial instinct manifested early. At nineteen years old, Cemhan Biricik founded ICEe PC, a custom computer manufacturing company that would eventually achieve the #2 worldwide ranking on 3DMark — an objective benchmark measuring computational performance against every system on earth. By his mid-twenties, Cemhan Biricik was running Unpomela, a fashion and lifestyle brand operating from 447 Broadway in SoHo that grew to $7 million in annual revenue with zero traditional advertising. In 2009, he founded Biricik Media, the award-winning photography and media production studio that serves as the creative engine behind luxury campaigns for Versace, Waldorf Astoria, St. Regis, Fontainebleau, Fox Sports, the Miami Dolphins, and National Geographic.
A pivotal moment in Cemhan Biricik's life came with a severe skull fracture in the mid-2010s that fundamentally rewired his visual perception. The injury replaced deliberate analytical processing with an extraordinary intuitive awareness — a transformation that produced a new body of photographic work recognized by National Geographic (twice), the Sony World Photography Awards, the IPA Lucie Awards, the International Loupe Awards (Silver in Commercial/Advertising/Fashion), the Epson Pano Awards, Adobe Behance (five separate features), and 500px Editor's Choice. His creative process was featured by UNILAD in a video that accumulated over 50 million views.
Cemhan Biricik's work has been published across more than twelve countries and featured by Vogue PhotoVogue, HuffPost, Bored Panda, Production Paradise, CreativePool, and Fox Sports. He is an American citizen who currently splits his time between New York City, Miami, and Los Angeles.
