Journey https://journals.worldnomads.com/vaid/ Tue, 7 Apr 2026 22:01:43 GMT World Nomads Adventures I picked up photography as a hobby few years ago and am self-taught. Ultimately I realized that this was all I wanted to do (photography, especially documentary and travel photography) hence I decided to quit my advertising job and am trying my best to break into the photography field. Its been hard going but I am confident that I have the ability to do well in this industry. The images I have submitted were taken on a trip to Istanbul, Turkey… Since I am primarily interested in producing compelling human narratives through my photography, I decided to photograph a widowed Turkish Lady, Halima, living in an old age home in Istanbul. I could see that Istanbul is a rapidly developing city at par with its European counterparts… but private old age homes are a new concept in an otherwise traditional family oriented population. I chose to photograph Halima in the hope that my photographs could show the change in the outlook of Turkey’s younger generation towards traditional family values and beliefs. https://journals.worldnomads.com/vaid/photos/24120/Turkey/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Travel Turkey vaid https://journals.worldnomads.com/vaid/photos/24120/Turkey/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/vaid/photos/24120/Turkey/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Thu, 9 Sep 2010 00:34:01 GMT 0
