About

Kyla Goksoy is a Turkish- American, Florida- born photographer and visual storyteller based in Istanbul, who has photographed various places around the world.

She is currently double majoring in photography and honors psychology and minoring in digital marketing at the University of Notre Dame. Since the age of twelve, camera has been her coping device, the shutter a boundary she can create between herself and the world. Her camera has been a microscope, the lens a way to focus—literally—on the tiniest details.
