EVENT FLOW
16:30 | Meet & Connect
We’ll gather outside the Bostancı Ferry Terminal to introduce ourselves, and warm up creatively while discussing framing techniques amidst the hustle of the square.
18:30 | Main Walk We land on Büyükada. As the island transitions into soft evening light, we will move past the grand Ottoman-era wooden mansions (köşkleri) and bougainvillea-covered lanes. The focus is on framing summer nostalgia, shadows cutting through side alleys, and the absence of cars.
19:30 | Second Walk
We head slightly uphill toward the island's western ridge lines. We'll use the final light of dusk to frame dramatic architectural compressions, capturing the vintage character of the island set against the distant, glowing Istanbul skyline across the water.
20:00 → Optional dinner or cold drinks near the Büyükada clock tower square.
