Istanbul

This gallery documents Istanbul's architectural heritage, from the vaulted ceilings and domes of historic mosques to the ancient cisterns, showcasing the city's blend of Byzantine and Ottoman influences. The photos focus on colour, shape and light across columns and colonnades, along with the night illumination of the city's monuments and streets. Istanbul's atmosphere reflects its position between the Middle East, Western and Eastern Europe — a mix that gives the city its distinct character.
