Gaurav Thakur

I'm a self-taught photographer who was born and raised amidst the vibrant streets of Istanbul. The heart of my work lies in my understanding of humanity. The lens captures not only faces but the essence of emotions – the wrinkles that tell stories, the laughter that transcends language, and the moments of solitude that connect us all. The images serve as a mirror, reflecting the universal experiences that bind us together, regardless of cultural backgrounds. While Istanbul remains my muse, I have never been content to stay confined within a single frame. Fueled by an insatiable curiosity, I embarked on journeys to distant lands. From the mystical traditions of Mexico to the vibrant streets of India, I sought out the beauty of diverse cultures and the uniqueness of foreign environments.
