Portfolio - TURKEY. 1998 - 2004. Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names 

Alex Webb 

Istanbul is a kind of border city, lying literally on two continents, Asia and Europe, between East and West, Islam and secularism, ancient and modern. It is a city haunted by its past, the faded glory of the Ottoman Empire.

These photographs, to be published as a book in the spring of 2007, explore the complicated world of this city.
