Galata’s Everyday Stories

  • Photographer
    Paola Signorelli

The vibrancy that makes Galata Bridge a unique microcosm in the heart of Istanbul deeply fascinated me. It is a crossroads of intertwined stories and lives, and each shot reflects the lively everyday life that unfolds on this iconic bridge, where tradition and modernity merge. Through contrasts of light and shadow, I sought to capture the pulse of life on Galata, a place where something is always happening, in a continuous flow of emotions and encounters

I live in Genoa and I am a photographer by passion. Since 2020, I have started a more conscious journey in photography, attending the academy of Luciano Perbellini. I enjoy traveling, but I also love exploring the corner behind my house, always seeking authenticity and spontaneity in every shot. Whether in distant or familiar places, my goal is to tell true stories, capturing the essence of unique and unrepeatable moments.
