I was in Istanbul for 5 days and each day was special for its own reasons. Even though I have shared nearly all experiences from that trip, I deliberately left out details about the actual Street Hunt day.
I thought that it would be much better to include the details of the day we filmed the Street Hunt in this post.
Plans for future collaborations exist and will be announced in due time, so stay tuned for more exotic trips in the future! So, we recorded the small introduction inside the Yeni Cami Mosque outer walls to protect the sound of the video from any annoying sounds of the wind and then headed out! Once outside, we made some photos in the Yeni Cami square, walked to the side of the huge mosque and then we headed back to where we started and from there headed into the Market.
In contrast to the mosque square the market was very busy and people kept on bumping into each other. So there we got to experience photographing at close quarters and grabbing shots instinctively. Things were fast paced and we immersed ourselves into the vibe of the scene — the people, the sounds, and the smells of the streets.
Once we had traversed through the part of the market that Kerem had planned for us, we continued to the Silversmiths of Istanbul. Apparently, all Silversmiths in the city work in one very old and quite big building. So we visited that building which which was split over 2 levels — each floor had workshops, one next to the other.
