Photograph Istanbul
Istanbul is a photographers' paradise... I can help you capture the best moments of Istanbul in the way you choose. I am not only a professional licensed tourist guide, but also a serious amateur photographer with more than 15 years of experience. Being in the right place at the right time is important. While good luck always helps, photography also requires careful planning as well as local insight. As each photographer has their own preferred subject, this private guiding service can be fully tailored to your preferences. For instance, if you want to focus on Istanbul's bazaars, commercial structures, I can arrange our route accordingly. If you want to focus on Byzantine heritage, that's easy too. Or you may want to visit Istanbul as a part of your YouTube or Instagram project and you want a guide in order to get advice and communicate with locals. I am ready to help. Or do you want a photoshoot? I can help you with my mobile phone. Let's photograph Istanbul together.

What's included in Photograph Istanbul
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Sultanahmet District
Sultanahmet is the heart of old city, where it is possible to see a new historical monument in almost every 50 meters. Our photography route will include not only the best-known sites such as Blue Mosque, but also rarely-visited streets and historical heritage. This will differentiate your photography and provide a wider perspective outside of popular spots.
Beyoglu
While Beyoglu is defined as the modern centre of Istanbul, it also contains a suprising amount and variety of historical sights. Our photography route will combine modern and historical together. It is possible to focus on architectural details, local people or artizans, or various other themes in this section of the city. Interesting churches, beautiful art galleries, crowded streets, random surprises can be our subject of photography.
Uskudar
Uskudar is the pearl of Asian side of Istanbul. It still protects what Turks called traditional neighbourhood life to a certain extend. In Uskudar, such neighbourhoods are decorated with little stores, elegant fountains, baroque mosques and breathtaking panoramas. Uskudar's neighbourhood bazaar not only contains interesting scenes for photography, but delicious foods to recharge our batteries. This final section of Uskudar will be a rewarding experience for any type of photographers.
