Birgul Koc

Hi, I am Birgül KOÇ. I live in İstanbul. I am a gynecologist interested in streetphotography.
Street photography, in my opinion, is a concept that is beyond the classical fictional tendencies; it implicates contrasts, spontaneities. it is the light, the shadow, the irregularity. Every passing day in my career I notice that the every day and every moment of life contains different types of people, cases, excitements, worries and joys at the same time. With all this and the necessity of deciding fast and taking action makes me exited and makes my mind, my heart and my soul come to the same line. I feel so lucky because I live in İstanbul; when I leave my home it is possible to encounter a new case that excites me at every corner and every street of this beautiful city.
My portfolio contains only the photographs that are taken in İstanbul. They are taken spontaneously and without any fiction.I am member of Turkuazstreet Collective based in İstanbul.
