Istanbul Portrait

June 22nd, 2010

In the Fall I travelled to Istanbul to photograph the  Dream Team for that city – a collection of four of Turkey’s foremost taste makers.

We decided to shoot them at İzzet Çapa’s (one of the four) club, Joke Perestroyka. Joining İzzet, were Mihda Koray (gallerist), Sefer Çağlar (interior & product designer with Autoban), and Müge Ersin (fashion designer).

They all knew each other, so it made my life very easy — getting them to have fun and interact was a cinch.

We shot in three different locations in the club, but having a great editor (this was for Conde Nast Traveler) meant that this particular frame was the keeper.

A good editor always makes your work look better. Thank goodness for that.
