#shorts #streetphotography #istanbul Istanbul: the city of a hundred names, where east meets west. We've been to Istanbul many times now but every time the city seems to always change and we keep getting lost in its unique beauty and vibrant streets. It’s an urban cultural center rich with the incandescence of its past. A melting pot of old and new from its minarets and contemporary art galleries, to the bazars and trendy cafés, traditional crafts and designer clothing, not to forget the Hammams and night clubs… We are headed back to Istanbul in October for a 7-day workshop on street photography and storytelling!
