Oil Wrestlers in Tekirdag

March 21, 2012

In the summer of 2011, I met a very interesting young photographer from Åland Islands. His name was Kenneth Bamberg and he came to Turkey to document oil wrestlers for his next exhibition. Having heard his announcement, (he was looking for a production manager to help him organize the wrestlers all over Anatolia), I gave him a call and told him I would be glad to help. He told he was a recent graduate from the University of Art and Design, Helsinki which was a funny coincidence because I was also there to do my exchange studies the previous year.
While we were in Tekirdag, I thought I might also do some additional shootings to document the event. The result is here but for me the experience was far beyond that.
I miss you Kenneth!
