Whichever destination I go to, I love watching the locals. On camera, I can capture their lives and emotions in one second. Some Turkish people do not like their photographs being taken but others quite happily let me snap away, often asking me to send the pictures when I return back home.

We all have a deep ingrained sense of curiosity about other peoples lives and often form our own image of a person before we get to know them.

“People watching” when we travel is more common than others like to admit.
