Özden Ediz was well-known in London, particularly within the Turkish Cypriot community, for his contributions as a photographer, documenting cultural events and creating an extensive archive of the community’s social and cultural life. His passing has been regarded as a significant loss for the Turkish Cypriot community in London.
