Shootout on the streets of Istanbul


Maybe you have witnessed a fair share of shootouts over the course of your life. They may have been from Western movies, but it still counts. What you haven’t seen though, is a camera shootout on the streets.

In this photo series, fashion photographer Akif Hakan Celebi (Istanbul, Miami) takes style to the streets in Istanbul, Turkey.

Take a look at the photos above to get a whole new understanding of what it means to point and shoot.

It’s called “Diary of a Serial Shooter” and it was made for the 2009 Istanbul Fashion Film Festival. Done with models Aysu Ergin and Elif Domanic.


It takes quite a fabulous photographer to make something so high as the fashion these ladies are wearing and bring it down to the streets of Turkey where they then fight with old video cameras.
In the meantime, Istanbul became more and more a hotspot for fashion & models!

At the same time, it's so removed from the average Turkish experience. Even by Istanbul's standards.

I just can't imagine people connecting to it.
