Yunus Emre Hamis (born March 3, 1991, in Balıkesir/Gönen, Türkiye) was introduced to photography and graphic design at an early age through his family’s profession. What began as a hobby during his university years turned into a professional career in 2017 when he joined the production and rental company Kiralık Kameracım. In 2018, he worked as the second unit cinematographer for the long-term documentary Anadolu Çiftliği (The Anatolian Farm), gaining extensive field experience over two years.

Today, Yunus works as a cinematographer and visual storyteller in the fields of documentary filmmaking, television, and branded digital content. His recent cinematography credits include The Wanderer (Amazon Prime Video), Insider – Big Batches (Doner & Baklava episodes), Anadolu Arkeolojisi (TRT 2), Antika Dedektifi (TRT Belgesel), and Hafir (TRT 2). He also contributed underwater cinematography to selected episodes of The Wanderer and Anadolu Arkeolojisi, further demonstrating his technical range in the field.

He also directs independent documentary projects, often focusing on local cultures and human stories. His works include Nature in My Heart, filmed in Malawi; Nazare: Big Wave, a short documentary on Portugal’s giant wave surf culture; and Navidad Flamenca, which explores Zambomba music and flamenco brotherhood traditions in Huelva, Spain. These projects reflect his dedication to capturing honest, emotionally grounded narratives through a cinematic lens.

To date, Yunus has filmed in all 81 provinces of Türkiye and across 13 different countries. He has worked with major broadcasters including TRT, Al Jazeera, Amazon Prime, and Bein Connect. He has also produced branded documentary content for international organisations and companies such as WWF Türkiye, Migros, Mitsubishi Motors, BIODERMA, and Tripadvisor. Combining a sharp eye for observation with cinematic composition, Yunus focuses on telling impactful stories rooted in history, culture, and environmental themes.
