Monkey
Istanbul

Photography & film

A day above the city.
From the first drink to the last light.

The shoot

Following the light

One shoot day at Monkey Istanbul, moving between the rooftop, the bar and the people around it. Close details, passing gestures and a city view that changes with the hour.

The resulting photographs and films bring together the drinks, the setting and the energy of being there.
