BACKSTORY
TRANSFIXED BY A MORNING AT THE SULEYMANIYE MOSQUE
I wandered the streets of the old town after a pre-dawn shoot earlier that morning. This is something I’ve done many times and, as usual, the light was wonderful and the streets were empty apart from a posse of cats escorting me and the odd curious dog.
I love it, camera in hand, following my nose, trying to get lost in a back street to discover some gem to capture in the golden light. It’s a change from the pre dawn shoots, which are more planned in advance; here, I’m purely in discovery/opportunity mode.
This morning I was walking on a familiar cobbled street in the old town and came across the mosque I’ve seen many times before.
Light is everything, and I’ve learned in my lifetime of shooting that there is no such thing as bad light-it just depends on what suits your needs or style. It has the power to alter the familiar and reveal beauty you may not have previously noticed.
The light this morning bathed the mosque in a beautiful ethereal glow and unveiled the textured cobbles on the path gently rising towards the mosque.
Scenes like these are impossible for me to walk past and can keep me in a state of euphoria for the remainder of the day.
SIZE | FRAME | PRINT GUIDE
I use a specialist fine art printer The Printspace which has labs located in London, Germany and the USA.
Printspace not only offers high-end art printing but is also an end-to-end carbon-neutral service.
Prints are all digitally signed in the bottom left corner.
They are created with beautiful Hahnemühle Photorag fine art paper which is widely used in the art world.
The paper combined with archival inks won’t fade when displayed in normal conditions indoors; colours will retain their brilliance for a lifetime which is estimated at circa 100 years.
The paper is 308 gsm weight with an off-white matt finish and the surface has minimal texture with a chalky smooth cotton feel which creates smooth colour gradients
