Kutlu[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An article on somebody who, his agent claims, has taken photos for a handful of companies that (via advertising agencies) employ a lot of people to take photos, and of a number of celebs whose photos pop up all over the place. If this stuff is believable, then his main thing would appear to be shampoo and the like; and "He is most known for his complicated lighting setups, and beauty images characterized by 'flawless, satiny skin' " -- which I suppose would make him pretty typical of a commercial photographer for bottled liquids for the body. His own website doesn't draw my attention to any exhibition, book, or critical commentary (or even uncritical gush). The article is one of a pile spammed by a stock photo agency (now blocked): see the article's talk page and the links from it. -- Hoary (talk) 12:38, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:ARTIST. There are thousands of photographers like this. Johnuniq (talk) 03:11, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This person looks to be a very successful commercial photographer. However, there is no coverage in reliable sources to establish him as a notable commercial photographer. -- Whpq (talk) 17:43, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
