Galata Köprüsü

Galata Köprüsü
Galata Bridge

All of these photographs were taken on the same day, wandering across Istanbul’s Galata Bridge. It’s a place where old meets new, where fishermen stand beside commuters, and the city’s layers come to life in every direction. On this day, everything felt fresh to me: the light, the people, the rhythm of the city. This series is about noticing what feels new, even in places full of history and daily repetition.

Two people on a blue stairwell, with shadows cast on the wall behind them. One person is wearing sunglasses and a cap, smiling and looking at the camera; the other person is making a peace sign, partially visible on the lower right.
Seven white birds perched along the edge of a weathered, graffiti-covered building against a clear blue sky.
