Sami Ucan is a street and documentary photographer living in Istanbul, Turkey. Sami's love affair with the streets of Istanbul started around 16 years ago when he discovered is passion for street & documentary photography. Since then his journey has seen him through many awards, juries and competitions.
I have won awards in national and international contests within the past years. My photographs have been published in magazines. I have made presentations and sessions in photography associations. I am observing life out on streets and trying to photograph it.
Sometimes, while taking photographs, just like a poet beginning the first verse of a poem, a window opens in my heart and I watch everything that's happening through that window. I consider it a great opportunity to witness time and to preserve it through photographs. I am washed over by an inexpressible happiness when I catch a good shot.
