A woman begs for spare change alongside Istiklal, a central shopping and social boulevard in Istanbul’s Beyoglu area. Thousands flock to the street every night to see and be seen.

This shot was taken at night in darkness with a long exposure. The street was crowded and many people passed between me and her while the shutter was open, but she did not move an inch, allowing me to capture this shot as if it were daylight.
