Live the Street - ISTANBUL

Photographed over two journeys to Istanbul, this series explores everyday life in the city through spontaneous encounters, gestures, movement, and moments of stillness in its streets.

Rather than attempting to describe the city as a whole, the photographs observe fragments of urban life that together reflect its density, diversity, rhythms, and atmosphere.

The project is complete and available for publication and exhibition.
