Picture of the Month - Behind the Shot!

Our challenge this month was ‘Layers.’ Most street photographers we know want to take better layered photos, but it’s one of the hardest things to achieve in the genre. Turkish photographer Emir Sevim was the winner of our competition with this double-take-inducing shot from the streets of Istanbul. We loved his clever use of foreground and background elements. The perspective is great as the objects in the foreground get smaller as they go down the block, as do the people. Congrats, Emir on this fabulous shot!

Flow of Life, Istanbul 2022

This is what Emir had to say about his image:

It was a cloudy day with no sun. I always wanted to go somewhere different from the places I took pictures. While I was wandering around the streets, I saw the bags hanging in the grocery store on the corner.  I got this photo after taking a few other photos, which you see below.

Thanks, Emir, for sharing the other shots you took as well as the winning shot. It’s always helpful to see how a photographer worked the scene. Congrats again!
