Variations

Lately I've been very much into this process of manipulating my photos by re-shooting them with a smartphone from DSLR's back screen. Somehow I really like the digital texture that it brings out and I'm also fascinated by the possibility of distorting the perspective of the original image. I don't know yet where this is taking me, but I enjoy the process. It's nice to repeat and variate, and try move further away from the documentary aspect of photography. 

Istanbul osa 4 / Istanbul part 4

Now that I got into the mood of posting, here's another bunch of photos. Still not many people in the photos. I've realized that the reason why I rarely have more than two people in a photo is that when there's more people, the composition of the image becomes much harder to control, and it's also more difficult to include enough empty space.

Here's a quite random set of photos that I took three or four weeks ago. Funnily I just realized that in these photos I've photographed all people from behind and only cats are the ones that are looking to the camera. 

Kadıköy Friday Market, Istanbul

Here's finally my second post from Istanbul. 

When I was here in January I only went to the Sunday market in Tarlabaşı, but now I wanted to see the one here in Kadıköy which is open twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Like on every Turkish market where I've been (also counting the one in Berlin), the atmosphere was great and I found so much to photograph. After spending there two or three hours the card in my camera was full and so where my hands. Next time I'll buy some sport clothes.
