The Ottoman Empire stretched across continents for the better part of six hundred years. The harem the Jannisaries recruited thousands of young children from every reach of the empire, and brought them to Constantinople. And though the empire fell in 1923 the shadows of conquests echo in the myriad of faces seen on the streets of modern day Istanbul. I shot a variety of candid portraits, trying to capture some of the different ethnic features of the united Turks. From the spice markets to the mosques, and fishermen to the whirling dervishes.
