A Visual Journey Through History
In the heart of Istanbul lies a unique neighborhood where the traces of the past blend seamlessly with the energy of the present: Pera. A district that carries the historical soul of Beyoğlu, Pera is nothing short of an open-air studio for street photographers. Every corner, every façade, every passerby is a moment waiting to be captured.
From Galata to Tünel, narrow alleys, century-old apartment buildings, cast-iron balconies, and elegant doors are reborn under different lights throughout the day. In the early morning, the rising sun reveals the textures of stone walls, while in the late afternoon, long shadows transform the streets into dramatic scenes.
When shooting in Pera, it's not just the architecture that finds its way into your lens, but life itself. People entering and exiting art galleries, laughter blending with the sound of the nostalgic tram, street musicians performing on a quiet corner—each frame tells a story of its own.
