Legendary street and fashion photographer of The New York Times, Bill Cunningham, roams the streets of Manhattan on his bicycle, capturing the city’s spirit and style. But for him, fashion is more than just clothing—it’s a cultural narrative, the purest form of individual expression.
Cunningham doesn’t chase fame or fortune; instead, he devotes his life entirely to his work. Living in a tiny apartment surrounded by old newspaper clippings and negatives, this humble soul demonstrates the enduring nature of his passion against the fleeting world of fashion. The documentary offers an intimate look into Cunningham’s private life and career, exploring a world that stretches from fashion icons to everyday New Yorkers.

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
Selected from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Photography Collection, we present the landscapes and places in Istanbul photographs, dating from the 1850s to the 1980s, together with their present-day views!
