Time-Traveling with Photographer Güney Tepe

Güney Tepe (@guneytepe) bought his first camera 10 years ago, when he was 20. “My early photos were not perfect, but I was excited by the act of taking pictures,” he says. “Photography lets you journey through time. For me, photographs keep memories alive.” Over the years, Güney found himself drawn more and more to street photography: taking pictures outside of a controlled environment. “I like photographing people acting naturally,” he says. “When I’m taking photos, I experience the same things they feel.”
Born and raised in Turkey, he also hopes his pictures can help demystify his native land. “Turkey is a beautiful country — it’s also complicated. There are many different kinds of people, many different cultures. It might be impossible for my own photos to correct misconceptions,” he says, “but I believe my journalist and photojournalist friends will succeed in the end.”
