Istanbul - The Whirling Dervishes

Thank you for visiting! This images in this gallery were shot at the Sirkeci Train Station in Istanbul, Turkey in November of 2014. The famous Whirling Dervishes are performing a traditional Sema Ceremony which is an active meditation practiced by the Sufi's of the Mevlevi order. These were difficult images to capture due to the low light without a flash and the movement of the subjects, hence the more grainy quality.To read more about the story behind these photos, please visit my blog at postcardsfrommeandlu.com
