EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Murad Sezer showcases the contrasting elements of Istanbul's urban landscape. The image captures the juxtaposition of towering skyscrapers belonging to prominent banks and popular shopping malls, standing proudly next to humble residential apartment blocks and the historic Zincirlikuyu cemetery. Taken on July 31,2019, this aerial view presents a stunning cityscape against a backdrop of clear blue skies. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of urban renovation in Istanbul, where modern architecture seamlessly blends with traditional structures. The creative use of space is evident as these architectural marvels coexist harmoniously within the same frame. With no people present in the shot, attention is solely drawn towards the striking horizon line that separates these distinct sections of the city. Sezer's keen eye for detail highlights not only the grandeur and ambition behind these skyscrapers but also pays homage to Istanbul's rich history through its surrounding residential areas and sacred burial grounds. This thought-provoking composition invites viewers to reflect upon how progress can shape cities while preserving their cultural heritage. As an iconic piece from Reuters Images' collection, this print serves as a testament to Sezer's talent in capturing moments that transcend time and evoke emotions. It stands as a visual reminder that even amidst rapid development, there remains room for both innovation and reverence for tradition in our ever-evolving world.
