As photographers, we believe in the magic of capturing feelings, freezing moments, and telling stories. Photography contains deep meanings and emotions beyond what is visible to the bare eye. That's why we use our lenses not only to capture the moments but feel the essence of life.
1. Power of the Moment:
Every moment carries a story. A glance, a smile, or a drop of rain... The true value of photographs is hidden in these moments. We embark on a journey to discover the power of these moments and to preserve them.
2. Creating Aesthetics:
Photography is an expression of art. Each frame represents an aesthetic creation, like a painter's canvas. We carry the mission of making the ordinary to extraordinary by using colors, light, and composition.
3. Power of Naturalness:
Naturalness is the source of true beauty. When taking photographs, we strive to capture moments as naturally and authentically as possible. We seek sincerity in every frame.
4. Emotional Transition:
We believe that the photography is a tool to convey emotions. We aim to tell a story or reflect the flow of life in our photographs in order to establish an inner connection with the audience and convey emotions.
5. Richness of Diversity:
We believe that every moment, every person and every place carries a unique beauty. Therefore, we embrace diversity and remain open to understanding.
6. Embracing Differences:
We understand the power of being different and know that we enrich ourselves by bringing different perspectives together. We believe that each of our unique perspectives strengthens our collective.
7. Art of Sharing Moments:
We believe that photography has a soul beyond capturing images; we accept that photography is an important tool for sharing a story, an emotion, or the flow of life in every frame.
8. Pushing the Limits of Creativity:
With our free and unique perspective, we know that pushing the limits of creativity will enhance the strength of our collective.
9. Spirit of Collaboration:
We know how important it is to support each other and to grow together. Collectively, we are committed to celebrating each other's successes.
Conclusion:
As photographers coming together, we believe that by acting in the light of the above points, we will create a new and unique perspective, understanding, and community.
This manifesto represents the shared beliefs and purposes of the photographers who are united under the name of Istanbul Candid Street Photography.
