Mission Statement
The street photography collective THROUGH THE LANDS was created with the ambition of forging links between photographers who share the same passion. Its members have in common this desire to capture everyday life and to convey the atmosphere, customs and idiosyncrasies of the places they visit. Through their own language, each member draws a very personal portrait of different countries around the world.

I am Nazile Bolat. I work at a private company as a financial advisor. I am also one of the founding members of WomeninStreetTurkey and a member of Through The Lands Collective
Until 2014, I was taking only souvenir photos. In 2014, I became a member of the photography club with the recommendation of a friend. After taking nature photos for about two years, I went on a different quest. In this process, I met street photography.
While I am watching people in the dynamic structure of the street, to lost myself in my world and try something new, be at the moment, and led by the light excites me.
I live in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. I often find reasons to take pictures in the city I live in, the village where I was born and raised, and other cities I travel to. I look at the images that are normal for the people living in the village, but actually extraordinary, and I think that they are like surprises which are prepared only for me.
In a world where everything is constantly changing, the satisfaction of capturing the moment when a fragile balance is formed by including my intuition in what I see caused me to become passionately attached to street photography.
