The participants, who tour the Istanbuls Today exhibition which includes photographs approaching the present of Istanbul from different angles, photograph the buildings around the museum. The participants create a different "contemporary Istanbul narrative" by following the traces of the structures that have remnants of the city's past and are places of memory. Photographer Engin Gerçek and the participants will take photos together using special lenses for building photography (Tilt-shift lens) and process them on the computer. The workshop is open to everyone who loves photography and architecture.
Note: Participants without a camera can participate in the workshop with their smartphones.
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 240 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

About Engin Gerçek
The artist, who provides services on architectural photography and visual design at Studio Majo, of which he is the founder, also produces personal works in the field of social documentation. He teaches photography classes at Medipol University-Media and the Visual Arts Department. In his architectural photography, Gerçek adopts a process that highlights the features and aesthetics of the building and is supported by post-shooting interventions; aims to produce frames that do not involve post-shooting to emphasize the surrealism of the street in social documentation works.
Works by a large number of students from the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo deal with current and often painful themes from the socio-political, economic and cultural reality, raising awareness, appealing, warning, opening issues and offering new interpretations.
The Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo was founded in 1972 as the first Academy of Fine Arts in Bosnia and Herzegovina and became one of the forerunners in Bosnian contemporary art. Academy continued its operation throughout the war years (1992-1995) in besieged Sarajevo and participated in important international art projects.
