In case you're curious who put this "blog" up, his name is Murat Guzel and here's why he doesn't mention his own name:
YanıtlaSilhttp://bewareofguzel.blogspot.com/2009/07/murat-guzel-murat-guzel-blue-house.html
Also, I'm not sure what a fake photographer is but feel free to have a look at my website (with upcoming photos for Chloe) and decide for yourself.
www.denizuzunogluphotography.com
Oh and btw, the reason Murat is making up all of this craziness about me is because I helped organize his past victims in warning others and bringing a court case against him.
YanıtlaSilThis blog is a ridiculous and calomnious attempt from a desperate human being to take revenge on someone who's dared expose him for what he is.
YanıtlaSilMurat Güzel, the author of this blog, has been for years now ripping off foreigners coming to stay in Turkey via his flat renting business. You can see written proof of that in the aforementioned blog
http://bewareofguzel.blogspot.com/2009/07/murat-guzel-murat-guzel-blue-house.html
He tried one of his usual tricks on Deniz Uzunoglu who fought back and, after discovering he was one of his many victims, decided to warn others about him.
Now in a disturbingly immature reaction that would almost be funny if it hadn't been taken that far, Murat Güzel has decided to turn Deniz's words against him and accuse him of being a "fake photographer", whatever the heck he means by that.
I feel ridiculous even having to say it, but no, Deniz Uzunoglu is not a "fake photographer", I am myself a fashion designer and we have worked together on numerous projects, I can personally testify to his professionalism.
And as a friend, I'd like to state that any accusations of violent behavior are unfounded and preposterous.
To sum it up, everything in this blog is either untrue or taken far out of context and I sincerely hope no one will take any of these lies seriously, as they could easily damage an innocent person's reputation and career.
If any proof is needed please visit Deniz's website and mine, he has been shooting my designs season after season and there is no one else I would trust for that job.

Oh, and Murat, if you're reading this, you'd better remove my name from up there before I get seriously angry, who gave you the right to bring me into your delusional ramblings I really wonder. And Dilek's name while you're at it, neither of us were "ripped off" by Deniz and you know it too well.
I hope the immatureness and poor-spiritedness of this “blog” is obvious to anyone who has read it. As mentioned before, Deniz put up a blog to warn foreigners in Istanbul about Mr Güzel who obviously found that kicking out his tenant’s after a couple of days and keeping the rent is a great and easy-going business model.
YanıtlaSilI can only explain this clumsy revenge as some kind of distortion of perception or a hysterical attempt to save his “business model”.
And how childish can a person be, writing a blog with the exact wording of a blog that had been put up against him before… It’s more than obvious that this “blog” is a gutless act of narrow-mindedness and I can only hope you noticed the clumsy argumentation and the bad copying of Deniz’ text about Mr Murat Güzel (or does this lonely sentence “I am currently living in Istanbul but also make my way to Paris and Los Angeles.” make any sense to you?).
I’ve been Deniz’ girlfriend for the last six months, also sharing a flat with him and I am most definitely not the kind of person who would stay with a “violent”, “sex-stereotyping”, “scam artist”. If anything of the above mentioned was true, I wouldn’t even have considered being with him.
As for Deniz’ work I can only say that he’s among this group of honest, exact and hard-working photographers that is hard to find in Istanbul. He has always supported other’s wherever he could even if it meant unpaid extra-work for him.
Murat Güzel’s diatribe makes me specifically angry because Deniz is one of the most just and warm-hearted people I know. He treats everyone he’s working with in the same polite and respectful way.
You are most welcome to contact me, if you still have concerns working with Deniz:
