October has been great, and we still have Halloween to go. Life seems back to normal and people have returned after the summer.  The weather is just perfect, 27 degrees mainly . We've had shoots, exhibitions, and of course Geekfest. And a Zelda night, but there are no photos of that. :)

So this month starts with Neige, a dancer from Pera, in her third year.  I have always wanted to work with her, and we met quite some time ago, maybe a couple of years. She's an amazing person, talented, with great energy, and has her own personal outlook on things.  She has a very unique look that I think sits well with the "In The Landscape" series.On the day Neige had playful spirit and basically did mini-dance performances and I did my best to keep up with her.

I am only sharing some black and white version for the moment except for the image below, which is to represent Neige's playful spirit on the day.  Find her on instagram @navailfu

Next up a book club that meets at Rustem Kitap Evi.  I happened to be passing.  The organiser is the author I metioned last month, @berfin__boztemir Good to see young people talking books. @okurlar_kulubu_

Next up is DJ Slimsauce and Sly, his manager, and podcaster.  I met them for coffee and a test shoot and then we got together with friends of his for a fun shoot.  We also went to Tecknoport Together which is a very well run dance night that is respectful of Photographers, who are there after all to promote the night.

Thanks to Sly for communicating well.  Find all of the Tecknoport photos here

Next up is Iolander, who you will recognise from previous blogs.  She worked for an entertainment company all summer after graduating at Pera.  Two days before leaving she got in touch with a hair idea, and we shot on the morning of her leaving.  Such a wonderful girl, fully confifent now in herself and her place in the world.  I wish her all the best, and hope she returns (she said she might).

Next up is a family portrait of my famiy friends from Denmark.  I was meeting some of them for the first time, but I know the men of the family from my time in London.  Anyway was so nice to see them.  Yogan, the guy in the middle, knew me as a teenager.

Next up is Unique Exhibition by Elvira Pushkareva - Painting International Law: Business and Human Rights at Rustem Kitap Evi.

Photos from the open night on the 18th. Find out more on Instagram
Thanks to Elvira and her lovely family, who talked to me one by one. They came from Russia, America, and London to be there for the exhibition, and her daughter and friend performed. Find the full album here.

Thanks to Sarvanaz for inviting me.

Next up is an Arucad exhibition at The Art Rooms in Kyrenia.  I didn't really get into taking pictures as it was well covered.  But I ran into my good friend Sonson and did some street portraits.  It was nice to see her again, she looked amazing in a leather jacket with her hair back.
