Timeless city İstanbul & faces by Mustafa Dedeoğlu

The city that has been carrying the wisdom of hundreds of years, timeless city of Istanbul…The project is result of 8 years work and intends to reflect the atmosphere of the unique story of Istanbul

The city that has been carrying the wisdom of hundreds of years, timeless city of Istanbul…The project is result of 8 years work and intends to reflect the atmosphere of the unique story of Istanbul – the city that has been home to many cultures for centuries, although it’s majestic silhouette remained unchanged forever.

The key element of the project is focusing on emotional value of the images, keeping the sense of time apart. Ratherthan presenting modern looks of Istanbul, this series of photos focuses on back streets of the city, its historical quartersand melancholic trait, paying tribute to its inhabitants as well, with their portraits.
