Istanbul, the city you don't expect!

My Scholarship entry - Few days in Istanbul, for a whirl of emotions.

Turkey | Friday, November 21, 2014 | 5 photos

I'm Andrea Pieroni, 26 years old and I come from Italy. I'm an accountant but I've ever felt my soul really far away from this occupation. My mom is a travel agent so I've travel in my DNA! I really love it to see new places and to know other culture. I think that after each trip, everybody's soul gain something like a treasure!
I've fallen in love with photography since I was 18 and I've mixed these two passions, or better, I'm trying to do that as well as I can.
I've never studied photography or attended courses on it. Only practice and a lot of experiments; and last but not least I read Steve McCurry, Michael Yamashita and Salgado's books.
In 2011 I won a national contest that allowed me to take pics at a race of Superbike World Championship. After this I had the chance to take pics at other four motorsports races, but with these great opportunity I understood I prefer travel photography. I prefer to feel and capture sensation from people and I want to stay and shot between them.
When I take a picture I try to do my best to communicate my impressions and what the subject communicates to me.
