I am Nazile Bolat. I am working at a private company as a financial advisor. Also I am one of the founding members of Womeninstreetturkey.

Until 2014, I was taking only souvenir photos. In 2014, I became a member of a photography club with the recommendation of a friend. After taking nature photos for about two years, I went on a different quest. In this process, I came across street photography.

While I am watching people in the dynamic structure of the street, I lose myself in my world and try something new. Being in the moment and being led by the light is what excites me.

I live in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. I often find reasons to take pictures in the city I live in, the village where I was born and raised, and other cities I travel to. I look at the images that are normal for the people living in the village, but actually extraordinary, and I think that they are like suprises which are prepared only for me.

In a world where everything is constantly changing, the satisfaction of capturing the moment when a fragile balance is formed by including my intuition in what I see caused me to become passionately attached to street photography.
