Who We Are
As Istanbul Candid Street Photographers, with the power we gain from the synergy that arises from our differences, we want to make our mark in world photography with the moments we capture from the colors, light, and melodic emotions of this geography, and to represent our country with the footprint we leave behind.
Our mission is to bring our country’s street photography to the international level and at the same time to become one of the reference points of street photography in Turkey.
Our approach to photography also reflects our view of life. Our approach to photography is based on the belief that the truth is too extraordinary, simple and complex to be fictionalized, and at the same time beautiful.
We are the runners of a never-ending marathon who have been loving and respecting each other for a long time, running after extraordinary moments in the chaos and unpredictability of the city, in the pursuit of extraordinary moments in mediocrity.
Emir Sevim
I was born in 1991 in Istanbul and graduated from Beykent University’s Faculty of Fine Arts, Cinema and Television Department. I started taking photographs in 2011 after attending photography courses at university. My first photographs were mainly focused on architecture, landscapes, and portraits. Later, I discovered street photography and began working in this field.
My photographs have been exhibited and featured in publications such as Lensculture Magazine, Eyeshot Magazine, Urban Photo Awards, Siena Photo Awards, Fujifilm Moment Street Photo Awards, the 11th Bursa Photofest, and Foto İstanbul. I continue to produce street photography both individually and collectively. Since 2023, I have been a member of the Istanbul Candid Street Photography Collective.
