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.
In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”.
Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
