The turban has a rich history in Turkish culture, dating back to the Ottoman Empire. It was originally worn by men as a symbol of power and status, but over time, it became an essential part of women’s attire, particularly among the conservative and religious communities. The turban is not just a piece of fabric; it represents a woman’s commitment to her faith, her culture, and her values.
Our exclusive photo series, “Gizli Cekim Sokak” (which translates to “Secret Street Photography” in Turkish), takes you on a journey through the streets of Turkey, capturing the beauty and elegance of turbanli women. From the busy streets of Istanbul to the quiet neighborhoods of Ankara, our photographer has traveled extensively to capture the diversity and richness of Turkish culture.
In these candid shots, you will see women of all ages, from young girls to elderly ladies, proudly wearing their turbans as they go about their daily lives. You will see them laughing, chatting, and interacting with each other, showcasing the warmth and hospitality that Turkish culture is known for.
