Column of Constantine will be another important landmark that we will visit. It is a Roman monumental column built for Roman emperor Constantine the Great to commemorate the dedication of Constantinople. Built in 328 and it is the oldest Constantinian monument in Istanbul and stood in the centre of the Forum of Constantine.

The first shooting in the cistern will be underground and I will use artifical light. It will be off camera lighting and looks natural.

The second one will be open air shooting with natural light.

The Galata Bridge is a bridge that spans the Golden Horn in Istanbul. First, we will take a photo shoot with anglers and sea view on this two-storey bridge. Then we will use the lower floor. Both sides of the lower floor have the best views of the city. From here we will be able to watch the magnificent Süleymaniye Mosque.

There will be an open-air photo shoot in the entire Eminönü area.
Eminonu Pier

We will see the classic boats used in public transportation, one of the symbols of Istanbul. Traditional fish boats will also be our next backdrop.
