Nazlı Erbes is a Turkish multidisciplinary artist and photographer based in New York.

She holds a BFA in Integrated Design and is currently pursuing an MFA in Photography at Parsons School of Design.

​

Moving fluidly between photography and design, she brings ideas to life through visual intelligence, thoughtful execution, and intention. Her background in design informs her visual sensibility, while her approach to photography balances conceptual rigor with emotional resonance.

 

Nazlı's work is rooted in curiosity about perception, the senses, and the dualities of the everyday, such as the interplay of light and shadow. ​Guided by close observation and intuition, she explores how familiar forms can shift toward abstraction, where recognition slips and new ways of seeing emerge. Her work asks how we know what we are looking at, and what makes the familiar recognizable after all.

​

Alongside her studio practice, she also works across fashion and interiors, a parallel pursuit that sharpens her visual language and expands the scope of her creative work.
