I live in Turkey. I have never received any training in photography, I am trying to improve myself by reading, following the works of my favorite photographers, and practicing on the streets. I love watching as much as taking pictures.
I love to capture street photographs and photos from everyday life. In the last few years, I have opted for low-light environments, rainy and foggy days, and especially black and white photos. But in recent years I have started to give importance to color photography and especially to shadows/silhouettes. To be in the streets, freedom and in fact life itself. I think it’s priceless that those tiny moments that you caught in daily chaos and hustle and the immortality of those moments.
I’am a member of Turkuaz Street Collective
