Documenting the Present, Preserving the Past
Ahmet Sinan Sarıkaya has spent 36 years photographing people, places and everyday life, first working with black-and-white and slide film before moving to digital photography with the Fujifilm X-T3. Inspired by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Steve McCurry, he sees the street as a record of life and photography as a way of carrying the present into the future. Today, he is documenting Istanbul neighbourhoods including Eminönü, Küçükpazar, Vefa, Cibali and Süleymaniye, places closely connected to the beginning of his working life.
