Cappadocia, Turkey. 06:00am. 12 October 2016
Be prepared. A scouting motto, but also a mantra for a successful photographic career. I can’t tell you the number of times I have changed angles entirely on a shoot, but when the opportunity comes knocking for you, it is foolish not to grasp it.
I have run yearly photographic experiences shooting Cappadocia’s incredible landscape since 2016. I've also seen the demographic of tourists change considerably, all because of viral posts on Instagram highlighting an impossible dream – styled shoots with beautiful girls wearing flowing dresses, surrounded by a hundred balloons, bathed in luscious golden light. Alongside the salt pools at Pamukkale and the mosques in Istanbul, Cappadocia is a premier export for Turkey’s tourism industry.
