I’ve been staying in Istanbul, Turkey for the last couple months now and living here has been an experience like no other city I’ve been to before. Istanbul is a mix of so many characteristics, it’s hard to put it all into words. It’s just a place you need to experience for yourself.
When it comes to capturing life, there’s not many cities with as much of it as Istanbul. I always have my camera on me here and spend most of my days walking the many districts seeing what I can capture. Istanbul would definitely make my top cities in the world list so here are some Street Photos I’ve taken so far that will hopefully give you a look into why it’s a place you need to visit too.

There’s not many cities that provide the experience that Istanbul does. There’s always so much going on, so much culture and variety to experience, so many different things to see, and much more. It’s a city that has it all. As far as photography goes, it’s also about as good as it gets for a big city. The light, colors, architecture, culture, mood and life of Istanbul provide a city made for photography.
