Born in Turkey, Olgaç is a multidisciplinary artist based out of London. His mediums of work include photography, film, installations, and art direction.
His upbringing in Konya during his developmental years largely informs his work today, as exploration of cultural identity has become a recurring theme in his visual language.
Since 2015 Olgaç travelled largely throughout Asia, the Middle East and parts of Africa to challenge the hegemonic Western notions of beauty, and personal individuality. He often explores the world of his subjects by frequently shooting in their personal environments. His educational background in Theatre shaped his improvisational staged - documentary approach.
"Olgaç was most recently named as part of Foam’s 2022 Talent; in 2019 he was featured in British Journal of Photography's "Ones to Watch" photographers, stating “Bozalp has been at the forefront of a movement to diversify visual culture, introducing new ideas about gender, beauty and race.”; and Aperture’s "Element of Style" issue, that investigates the role of style, dress, and beauty in the formation of individual identity."
His work was exhibited at National Portrait Gallery, Aperture Gallery, Sharjah Art Foundation, and Odunpazari Modern Museum.
His work has also been published by M Le Monde, T Magazine, Dazed, Atmos and he has worked with brands including Carven, Hugo Boss, Camper, Selfriges, GmbH, Alexander McQueen and Dilara Findikoglu.
