Our Story

35milimetre is a nimble post-production and design agency in Istanbul, founded by Mehmet Turan, who started retouching in the 1990s with film scanning and has worked on image manipulation and compositing for technology, automotive and consumer brands ever since. We work with ad agencies, brands, start-ups and professional photographers on retouching, compositing, CGI, packaging and AI imagery. The core team is three people: our artists left larger agencies to work with a freelancer's spirit and an agency's professionalism, and we bring in trusted specialists, from illustrators to industrial designers, when a project calls for it.

About

Craft. Accuracy. Reliability. How we work.

Craft

Every image is finished by hand by a senior retoucher and 3D artist. Light, perspective, edges and color are checked before delivery, whether it began as a photo, a CGI render or an AI image.

Accuracy

Products stay true to the real thing. Labels, logos, colors and shapes are matched to reference and brand guidelines, so packshots and campaign visuals hold up in print, e-commerce and retail.

Reliability

Clear communication, honest timelines and organized file delivery for brands, agencies and photographers in every time zone, with fast turnarounds for product launches and campaigns.

Process

Files are backed up every few hours, two revision rounds are included (one for CGI), and final files are delivered via Dropbox, Google Drive or FTP and kept available for 60 days.
