Religion in mystical streets of Sicilia
Italy | Monday, November 24, 2014 | 5 photos
Hola! I'm Elif from Turkey, Istanbul. I grow up in a farm house really far away from the center of Istanbul. I was always inside of the nature and authentic people. This changed all my point of view to life. Now i'm on my senior year at university, i decided to live in Sicily for couple of months for shoot one documentary about the religion, music, rituals. It was hard to do these without money but i found sponsors for this, human relationship is important for my dreams. My point in this life is working in Nat Geo like you. I start to have this dream since i was 14 and i mail them a lot when i was in that age. Now i'm shooting freelance documentary and photo about nature, culture, food. One of my documentary showed in documentary channel. But beside these, taking photo is different then a video for me, getting that moment in a pixels is amazing. I love to soot the moments. I don't really like fashion photography or etc. I don't photograph the subject. I photograph what is different for me, what i did't saw before. If i win this, i'm sure it's gonna be a huge step for my Nat Geo dream. And i'll learn a lot from you! Thank you! - Elif,21,Istanbul
