What DCM does

DCM (legal name: DCM Production) is a full-service creative production house founded in 2008 in Istanbul, Turkey by Mehmet Ozsut and Mert Orun. The company provides end-to-end visual production services including photography, video production, art direction, and styling — primarily for fashion brands, retailers, and editorial publications. Its client roster spans premium and enterprise names such as NIKE, BOYNER, DAMAT, YARGICI, DILEK HANIF, MANU, RAMSEY, DARE LONDON, and Port Magazine, indicating positioning at the higher end of the Turkish and regional fashion commercial production market.

Operationally, DCM runs a 250 sqm owned studio facility in Sarıyer, Istanbul with a 3.2m ceiling, cyclorama wall, hair and makeup station, fitting room, and lighting/digital equipment. The company maintains a curated roster of approximately 11 photographers and 7 directors (e.g., Cem Çançin, Duygu Taneri, Ozan Gür, Ulaş Turhan), enabling production without permanent full-time payroll lock-in. Delivery is project-based, executed either on-location or at the Istanbul studio.

Commercially, DCM operates as a B2B sales-led professional services firm with revenue generated from project fees, with no disclosed pricing, no public funding, no parent company, and no listed partnerships. The company is privately held, single-jurisdiction (Turkey), and relies on portfolio-driven referrals and direct enterprise relationships as its primary go-to-market motion.
