Naval Engineer, Carpenter, and Photographer in istanbul
I bought my first camera in 1989 from the Russian Market, at that time I was in high school. My interest in photography has continued to increase since then. Photography has been at the center of my life for the past fifteen, twenty years. I take photos and write about the photography. As I travel a lot due to my job, I have contact with people from every culture and region. The photo turns out to be a combination of what’s happening around me and those in my mind.
The last shape my perspective on life takes is simply: Zen. I think Street Photography is the only way to combine photography, Zen and Life. I am only interested in street photography recently. In Zen, the target is the road itself. I do not take photos for a purpose, I do not have a claim to document or create art, and in my photos, the purpose is simply that photo itself.
