Ozan Safak

I am Ozan Şafak from Turkey. I was born in İstanbul in 1978. I am a history teacher at the high school. My history with photography begun when I was a child. I first met photography with my father’s analog cameras. I wouldn’t have understood his explanations  about  cameras working principles at that time. I bought myself a camera in 2010 and started to learn the basic principles of photography myself by buying a lot of photography books. Street photography has become my  interest since 2015, which was of interest to documentary photography before.
Now  street photography is my passion. I try to photograph city life and İstanbul streets for 3 years longer. Silhouettes and Colors of Istanbul  is my main idea.  My photography is about light and shadow at the street life. I like to show the texture of the city and the loneliness of the person by using geometry,  light and shadows in my photographs.
