Early in the morning in a public park across the Taj Mahal
I started photography years ago with a simple camera, but later on this hobby turned into a real passion. I mostly work on black and white street photography, also documentary projects from time to time.
Being born and raised in Istanbul, combined with the vibrant and mixed cultural structure of the city, gave me the opportunity to continue my photography more passionately. Being a frequent traveler gave me an additional chance to photograph different cultures and different people. As Graciela Iturbide once said, “After all, photography is an excuse for me to get to know the world"
