While hundreds of sheep come to the village for milking every day in [the] Tatvan district of Bitlis, they start their dusty journey towards Nemrut Lake at sunset. We were exposed to a lot of dust while photographing the herd on this dusty journey, but the resulting photos with flickering sun rays were so satisfying.

Photography is more of a passion for me than a hobby. In these photographs, witnessing people's struggle for their livelihood, accompanying their arduous and dusty journey, and photographing their efforts were an inspiration [to] me.

There were many unforgettable good and bad moments in my life during my photography career, I got injured for photography and sometimes I was hospitalized, but I accumulated so many good memories that they left all the negativities I experienced behind. One of the most valuable moments for me was photographing a girl collecting garbage in India. It left a special mark on me too.

The subject I dream about, if I can find the opportunity, is the life of cattle herders in South Sudan (Mundari tribe).

Going to South Sudan, Vietnam, and Morocco and taking photos.

When capturing the moment, introduction of color into the equation shifts the intense emotions [and] somehow lightens the dramatic nature of the moment. Removing color from the scene reflects pure emotive feelings of my heart and what my eyes saw.
