The Syrian Refugee

Nothing staged in this one.

As I walked the streets of Galata in Istanbul on a rainy day, I came across this young woman begging. I immediately saw how photogenic the scene looked. I didnt speak her language and she didnt speak mine. But I showed her my camera and some money and she nodded. She responded to direction and I managed to get 20 frames. I got 2 pics I'm happy with. I paid her for her time and went on my way. I believe she was a Syrian Refugee.
