SCA Photography + Media

Can Aksoy is an architect, photographer, photojournalist, and filmmaker based in Notting Hill, London, England. His practice spans design, photography, film, and digital media. Can’s multidisciplinary practice translates complex ideas into visual narratives that resonate across mediums, fostering authentic connections between his clients’ visions and their audiences. Can holds both a Bachelor of Architecture (BArch) and a Master of Architecture (MArch) from Oxford Brookes University in Oxford, England. His academic background shapes his approach to each project, enabling thoughtful exploration of subjects in close partnership with clients and creative teams. As the founder and director of SCA Studio Can Aksoy, a registered photography and digital media arts studio in the UK, he works with artists, brands, institutions, and research groups. Together, they develop visual projects, from concept to production, that explore themes of culture, identity, and innovation. His film Psyche was selected for the Oxford International Short Film Festival 2023 and the Performance Film & Media Short Film Festival in London (nominated for Best Horror Film), and was screened at Raindance Film Festival’s Open Shorts Night. His earlier work, Silencio was nominated for Best Experimental Film at the Oxford International Short Film Festival in 2019. As a photographer, Can’s images have been published by Getty Images, Vogue Magazine’s PhotoVogue, and newspapers such as The Telegraph. Since founding SCA Studio Can Aksoy in 2017, he has collaborated on projects that use narrative and visual experimentation to meet the specific needs of clients and creative partners. Drawing on psychoanalysis and an ongoing fascination with the unconscious mind, Can’s work explores how hidden drives, dreams, desires, fears, and subconscious imagery shape both individual experience and collective narratives. Inspired by traditions seen in Surrealist and contemporary art, his projects often uncover emotional undercurrents and psychological realities that are not immediately visible, inviting audiences to engage with the deeper forces at play within and around us. Can continues to work closely with those who seek to share stories and develop projects that encourage fresh perspectives and deeper understanding.
