This Istanbul photo zine includes more than 130 photos over 150 pages with shooting info, stories, and places from my recent trip to Istanbul. It combines stunning photography with expert travel insights. This is the perfect companion to my travel video on YouTube about the same trip.
Here you can hopefully get inspired by the many high-res photos, pick up your camera, and visit this splendid city.
With its mix of cultures and religions and being one of the largest cities in the world, there is always a lot to see and do in Istanbul. For example, the Grand Bazaar is the largest and oldest covered market in the world, with over 60 streets and 4000 shops. And there’s a dedicated section in this publication full of images to inspire you.

More details and info are below.

Purchasing my publications, digital products and prints is the most direct way to support me and my work. Every item sold here helps me raise funds to create even more photos, videos and products specifically for you.
Thank you!

All the money raised in pre-orders was donated to AKUT, a voluntary, non-governmental organisation involved in searching, assisting and rescuing the victims and those affected by the earthquake.

This digital zine includes more than 130 high-resolution photos over 150 pages with shooting information, stories, and locations from my recent trip to Istanbul. It is the perfect complement to my travel video on YouTube about the same trip.
Here you can hopefully get inspired by the many high-res photos, pick up your camera, and visit this splendid city.

At the moment, these zines are digital only for a few reasons:

  • the digital format allows me to update the zine indefinitely: if I made a typo, if I wanted to add more content, etc… All it takes is to upload a new version, and you will be able to receive updated copies for life (lifetime updates are included in the price)
  • it helps reduce the cost of creating a zine (on top of packing and shipping), so I can give it to you at a considerably reduced price (more on this below)
  • it is, of course, more sustainable for the planet
  • you can have instant access to the zine wherever you are

I'm not entirely against making printed copies if there happens to be enough demand. And there has been quite some interest on Instagram already. But they would be very limited editions for collectors at a much higher cost. To be completely transparent with you, a publisher quoted me £106.80 per copy, plus shipping, for the hardcover version with photographic quality paper.
Therefore, this is the only format available. If a printed version will ever be made available and you already purchased this digital copy, the cost of your purchase will be discounted.
All pages are high resolution, so you could also print them yourself if you're so inclined.

The PDF file is about 150Mb, so make sure you have enough space on your device.
For the best viewing experience I would recommend using a device with a larger screen, such as a tablet or a computer. Some pages (only a few) would be best viewed next to each other on screen, but the experience is not affected if you can only see the pages one by one.

Please note that no refund can be issued for the purchase of digital products.

Again, purchasing my publications, digital products and prints is the most direct way to support me and my work. Every item sold here helps me raise funds to create even more photos, videos and products specifically for you.
Thank you!

Stunning photos of Istanbul! The way you captured both the modern and traditional aspects of the city is incredible. Makes me want to book a trip right now to visit again and follow your steps.

Love how this guide perfectly blends the practical travel advice with those gorgeous photos that really capture Istanbul's soul - I'm not gonna spoil it, but there's a sunset shot that is especially breathtaking! Wow.

Thank you so much for your kind words. There's a few sunsets and sunrises in there but I think I know which one you mean... I got lucky to be in the right place at the right time :)
Thanks for your DM on Instagram as well, I'm going to get back to you now.

I just bought your guide. It looks great. I'm visiting in 2 weeks time and one thing that I think is missing is perhaps several walking routes. Perhaps have 3 days worth of walking routes in different areas. I saw another guide to Tokyo recently and that had routes listed to maximise and save time and that was really useful when I was there last week.
I know you have some maps in your guide but routes would and have worked well for me.

Just an idea!!!
Thanks

Hey Steve! I like your idea of walking routes. It’s definitely something I’m considering for my next publications (London, Florence, Paris) as I know these places much better and I can actually plan. When in Istanbul, it was my first time back after 25 years and I simply went with the flow, not following a route and rather getting lost on purpose. I suppose I can still make the routes up by piecing all the photos in a sort of itinerary… Maybe something for the next update.

Thank you so much for putting your trust in me and buying the book. I am so excited to see someone of your calibre get a copy and take the time to leave a comment!
