We are inspired by the practice of Isabel Muñoz, who uses black-and-white photography both in her past projects and in most of her works exhibited in the museum. Participants learn the subtleties of black-and-white photography, which opens up space for abstraction, mystery and imagination, in the workshop led by photographer Orçun Karamustafa. the workshop focuses on the origin and present of black-and-white photography, and its emotional and aesthetic effects. Participants learn about composition, lighting, exposure and white balance in photography. Upon completion, they possess the knowledge and skills necessary to capture their own black-and-white photographs.
Note: You can attend the workshop with your professional camera or a smartphone with a camera.
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 180 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

About Orçun Karamustafa
Born in 1991, Orçun Karamustafa is a photographer focusing on street and nature photography, aiming to capture timelines of landscapes and musical monographs. He made a documentary film titled “The Remaining” and collaborated on many master projects. He was also one of the participants in the "Photography Day - queer" edition of the "Juried Exhibition Photography Day Queer Edition 2022" through the Preus Museum - Norwegian National Photography Museum. His “Our Queens” photo series was exhibited at Merlinka – International Queer Film Festival in Belgrade. He lives and produces in Istanbul.
Following the opening of his studio, “El Chark Societe Photographic,” on Beyoğlu’s Postacılar Caddesi in 1857, the Levantine-descent Pascal Sébah moves to yet another studio next to the Russian Embassy in 1860 with a Frenchman named A. Laroche, who, apart from having worked in Paris previously, is also quite familiar with photographic techniques.
He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.
