Commuters take a ride in a ferry crossing the Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey, Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024. For AP Photographer Francisco Seco, taking photos of daily life in cities around the world is one of his favorite activities because it gives him a sense of the people of that city in relaxed moments.Why this photo
This photo was taken on one of the ferries that connect the Asian and European shores of Istanbul. Hundreds of thousands of people commute every day between the two banks of the Bosphorus Strait. That day I was returning from Kadikoy, on the Asian shore to Karakoy, on the European side. It was a day that after working many hours on the computer I decided to go out to take some daily life photos. Being able to take photographs of daily life in Istanbul is a gift for me as a photojournalist. I usually go out every week. It is a good excuse to refresh my mind and, above all, get to know the city that has welcomed me for the last two years.
I used a Sony 50mm lens. I prefer to use short prime lenses instead of zooms because they push me to move closer or farther away rather than stopping in one place when zooming in and out.
