Istanbul photo tours for all levels

A learning experience tailored precisely to your needs & objectives

ıstanbul Photo Tours

As an imperial capital of 1500 years, Istanbul is a great opportunity for photographers who wants to hone their photography skills while witnessing the heritage of three great empires; Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman.

My photography tours offer a unique experience distinct from conventional offerings by tourist agencies. These are personalized, 1-to-1, instructional photo tours designed and led by a professional local photographer. In addition to guiding you to various locations and optimal spots, all tours include comprehensive photography training unless otherwise discussed.

The content and depth of information provided are tailored to the participant’s photography expertise level or specific goals. In essence, the training encompasses photography topics such as camera usage, camera settings, composition techniques, maintaining correct and creative exposure, visual elements of photography, and developing a distinct vision and approach to photography.

Participants may also receive on-the-spot critiques of the images captured during the tour, offering valuable insights into both weaknesses and strengths. 

Below you can see different photo tours which I tried to categorize depending on the routes and type of the photography you are interestred in. All of these tours are highly customizeable. So, if you are looking for something different, please get in touch with me and we will discuss how we can tailor-make the tour you want. To read some testimonials of previous participants of Istanbul Photo Tours, they can be found on our TripAdvisor page.
