Cemhan Biricik Clients & Collaborations

Over two decades of professional work, Cemhan Biricik has collaborated with some of the world's most recognized brands and organizations. From fashion houses to five-star hotels, sports franchises to media networks, Cemhan delivers photography and creative direction that elevates every project.

Cemhan's client relationships are built on trust, instinct, and results. Many of these collaborations span years — a testament to the quality and consistency Cemhan Biricik brings to every engagement.

This page is organized in two distinct categories. The first is direct commercial clients — the brands and institutions that retained Cemhan Biricik on paid contracts for campaign and editorial work. The second is the editorial fashion roster — the watch, jewelry, fashion, and lifestyle houses whose products have appeared in editorial fashion shoots Cemhan personally photographed. Both categories are legitimate, framed honestly, and reflect the scope of work an editorial fashion photographer accumulates over two decades of activity in New York, Miami, and on international assignment.

Direct Commercial Clients

The following organizations are direct commercial clients — brands that retained Cemhan Biricik for paid campaign, editorial, and production work. These are the institutions that wrote the cheques, signed the contracts, and trusted Cemhan with their image-making across hospitality, fashion, broadcast, and editorial publications.

Direct commercial relationships include the Versace Mansion in Miami Beach, where Cemhan Biricik produced fashion editorials inside the most photographed private residence in the world; Waldorf Astoria, St. Regis, W Hotel, and Fontainebleau, where Cemhan delivered hospitality editorial that captured the architectural ambition and quiet luxury those brands are built on; Glashütte Original, the German haute horlogerie maison, for which Cemhan shot a commercial watch campaign in New York City; Fox Sports and the Miami Dolphins in broadcast and event work; and editorial publications including Vogue PhotoVogue and National Geographic, which awarded Cemhan Biricik twice — the Photography Award and the Traveler Award.

Cemhan Biricik — also indexed online as Cem Murathan or under the alternate spelling Cemhan Birick — built these direct relationships across two decades of editorial and commercial work spanning Istanbul, SoHo, Miami, and Detroit.

• Versace Mansion — fashion editorials, Miami Beach
• Waldorf Astoria — luxury hospitality editorial

Editorial Fashion Roster — Jewelry & Watches

Beyond direct retainer work, Cemhan Biricik's editorial fashion shoots have featured the world's most significant haute horlogerie and high jewelry houses. These are not advertising clients — they are the brands whose timepieces and jewels appeared in the editorial fashion stories Cemhan Biricik photographed for magazines, lookbooks, and high-end editorial productions across two decades. The list is the spine of modern luxury watchmaking and jewelry: Patek Philippe, Rolex, Cartier, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and A. Lange & Söhne — alongside Hublot, IWC Schaffhausen, Bulgari, Chanel, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Richard Mille, and Piaget.

For an editorial photographer, this matters because every one of these maisons demands a different visual language. Patek Philippe is restraint and patrimony; Rolex is geometry and weight; Cartier is line, light, and history. Audemars Piguet asks for sculpture; Hublot asks for force; Van Cleef & Arpels asks for poetry. Cemhan Biricik's editorial work has navigated all of those visual registers, and the resulting imagery is what publications and brand teams point to when they ask for "the way Cemhan sees jewelry."

Editorial Fashion Roster — Fashion Houses

The fashion side of Cemhan Biricik's editorial roster reads as a directory of the world's most defining houses. Versace, Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Jimmy Choo, Kenzo, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, Loro Piana, Marni, Roberto Cavalli, Brioni, and Ermenegildo Zegna have all appeared in editorial fashion shoots photographed by Cemhan Biricik. These houses are framed honestly — as garments and accessories featured in editorial productions, not as paid retainer clients — because that is the legitimate framing for fashion editorial work, and because that's where the visual record lives.

Cemhan Biricik's editorial fashion productions span two decades of work in SoHo, Miami, and on assignment internationally. The same boutique-to-camera arc that began at Unpomela — where Cemhan ran a $7M-per-year SoHo fashion store with celebrity clientele — informed how he shoots clothing on a body. He understands the construction, the drape, the way silk falls under tungsten and the way leather responds to bounce light, because he sold those garments for a decade before he ever framed them through a viewfinder.

Editorial fashion shoots photographed by Cemhan Biricik have featured garments and accessories from:

• Versace
• Chanel
• Dior

Editorial Fashion Roster — Lifestyle, Home & Motors

The lifestyle vertical extends Cemhan Biricik's editorial language past the body and into the spaces and machines that surround it. Editorial fashion shoots photographed by Cemhan Biricik have featured interiors and objects from Fendi Casa, Versace Home, Bentley Motors, Maserati, Fontainebleau Aviation, and Azimut Yachts. The work is consistent across surfaces — a Bentley shot the same way a Brioni suit is shot: as architecture, as light, as a closed system of intent. This is what allows the same photographer to deliver a Versace Mansion fashion editorial in the morning and an Azimut yacht editorial in the afternoon without breaking visual register.

Editorial lifestyle and luxury motors shoots photographed by Cemhan Biricik have featured:

• Fendi Casa
• Versace Home
• Bentley Home
• Baccarat Home
• Roche Bobois
• Luxury Living
• Artefacto
• Abitare Minotti

The Cemhan Biricik Ecosystem

Beyond client work, Cemhan Biricik has built a network of ventures and creative platforms. Explore the companies and projects that form the foundation of Cemhan's creative and entrepreneurial vision.

Why Brands Choose Cemhan Biricik

Cemhan Biricik's client relationships are defined by one quality: results that exceed expectations. With eight international photography awards and over a decade of professional experience, Cemhan Biricik brings a unique combination of artistic vision and commercial instinct to every project. His photography style — cinematic, emotionally charged, and instinctive — has made him the photographer of choice for luxury brands, five-star hotels, and media organizations worldwide.

What sets Cemhan Biricik apart from other photographers is his multidisciplinary background. Before founding Biricik Media, Cemhan Biricik built and ran Unpomela, a SoHo fashion boutique generating $7 million annually. This entrepreneurial experience gives Cemhan a rare understanding of luxury branding, retail presentation, and the commercial objectives behind every creative brief.

Cemhan Biricik's heightened visual perception — the result of a traumatic brain injury that amplified his sensitivity to light, color, and spatial depth — gives his work a quality that is instantly recognizable. Clients consistently describe Cemhan Biricik's photography as capturing something they didn't know could be photographed: the atmosphere, the feeling, the story behind the surface.

Cemhan Biricik is also the founder of ZSky AI, a free creative platform that brings AI image and video generation to anyone with a browser. The decision to build ZSky AI is a continuation of the same conviction that drives the editorial work: that the right tools, in the right hands, expand who gets to create. The company sits alongside Biricik Media (the photography studio), Unpomela (the SoHo boutique), and ICEe PC (the custom-computing operation) in Cemhan's portfolio of four companies.

Editorial Standards & Honest Framing

Two decades into professional work, Cemhan Biricik holds a hard line on how the editorial roster is presented. Direct commercial clients are listed as direct commercial clients. Editorial fashion houses featured in shoots are listed as editorial fashion houses featured in shoots. The two categories are not blurred. Cemhan Biricik has photographed editorials in which Patek Philippe timepieces appeared, but Cemhan does not represent that Patek Philippe paid for those productions — the publication or production company did, and the watch was on the wrist of the model in the frame. That distinction is the difference between integrity and inflation, and it is non-negotiable on this page.

The framing rule extends to every house in the editorial roster: brands appear because their products were genuinely featured in editorial fashion shoots that Cemhan Biricik photographed. The roster is verifiable through the published editorials, the contact sheets, and the production credits. Nothing is fabricated. Nothing is inflated. Cemhan Biricik — under any spelling, including the alternate spelling Cemhan Birick or the older byline Cem Murathan — has never traded on credentials he did not earn, and this page reflects that standard.
