Two Worlds, One Vision

Volleyball photographer by passion, dental student by profession — capturing precision in both art and science.

Belin Akguel - Volleyball Photographer

About Me

Belin Akguel

I live in two worlds that complement each other perfectly. As a dental student, I'm training to restore and perfect smiles with precision and care. As a volleyball photographer, I capture the dynamic energy and emotion of a sport I've loved playing for years.

These dual paths might seem different, but they share core principles: attention to detail, perfect timing, technical precision, and an appreciation for both aesthetics and functionality. Whether I'm behind the camera or in the dental clinic, I'm focused on capturing and creating moments of perfection.

The Connection

Where Art Meets Science

The surprising ways my dental studies enhance my photography, and how photography improves my approach to dentistry.

Precision & Detail

Dental work requires meticulous attention to detail and steady hands. These same skills help me capture crisp, perfectly timed volleyball shots where a millisecond can make the difference between an ordinary and extraordinary image.

Visual Perspective

Photography has trained my eye to notice subtle details, lighting, and composition. This visual acuity translates directly to dentistry, where aesthetic considerations and visual assessment are crucial for successful outcomes.

Human Connection

Both photography and dentistry are ultimately about people. Whether I'm capturing the emotion of athletes or helping patients achieve their perfect smile, the human connection and trust are at the heart of what I do.
