Cem Devrim Yaylalı was born in Paris but was brought up in Istanbul, his current place of residence. After graduating with a degree in economics from the University of Istanbul, his fascination with naval matters sparked when he started capturing images of warships during their visits to Istanbul. His inaugural photographs found their way into Jane’s Fighting Ships in 1991, marking the inception of his career.
Outside his professional pursuits, Devrim is a family man, happily married with a son.
Since then, his photographic works and written contributions have been featured in a myriad of domestic and international naval publications, including:
- Türk Deniz Kuvvetleri Dergisi,
- Seaforth World Naval Review,
- Combat Fleets of the World,
- Warships IFR,
- Defence Turkey,
- Shepard Media,
- Jane’s,
- Defence News
