I’m Gökhan Arer — an Istanbul-based candid street photographer and a chemical engineer by profession. Since 2015, I’ve been walking the chaotic streets of this city with one simple goal: to frame the unexpected.
My work focuses on spontaneous juxtapositions that can’t be staged — illusions found in everyday life, visible only for a fleeting moment.
Juxtanbul Candid is the natural evolution of this vision:
a platform where I guide others to see the city as I do — unscripted, vibrant, and full of visual irony.

Photography, for me, is not just documentation —
it’s a moment of escape. A pause. A punchline.
