For Social Peace, He Presses the Shutter

İzmir Life · November 2009 · Interview by Menekşe Badioğlu Erdik

This interview looks at my long-term documentary work with different cultural communities in Turkey. The article brings together photographs from Anatolia with a conversation about why I photograph people, how relationships develop over time and why documenting cultural diversity matters to me.

The original Turkish title is “Toplumsal barış için deklanşöre basıyor.”

From the Interview

The interview reflects a principle that has remained central to my work: photography is not only about recording people from the outside, but about spending time with them, learning from their lives and allowing trust to shape the photographs.
