In the lobby of the Richmond Hotel located in the European Beyoglu district of Istanbul, there are more iStockers than hotel guests, it seems. Unlike any previous iStockalypse, where iStockphoto sets up a few days worth of creative shoots to acquire fresh and topical stock for our collection, we're entering new territory. Istanbul is the first iStockalypse where iStock photograpers will learn techniques, tips and insight about photojournalism from those we think know it best: some Getty Images greats. Our Getty Images guest speaker list includes: – Aidan Sullivan, VP Assignments, Getty Images – Andreas Gebhard, Manager, Picture Desk, Americas Getty Images – Tom Stoddart, Photographer This week, hand-picked iStock photographers will spend mornings in seminars delivered by hour guest speakers, the afternoons shooting editorial stories about life in Istanbul and evenings evaluating that day's shots. We can't wait to see what will come from this event which runs until Sunday, November 8. To get rolling, here are some shots from the incredibly magnificent streets of Istanbul. Enjoy!

| Posted Wed Nov 4, 2009 8:37AM | Just read the tentative schedule.Seems 4 full days are planned.The 4 subjects/topics are interesting.I did notice the vast differance in the'culture and daily life' when i visited Turkey. One question did pop into my head though..After each day it says..Night out,but on Sunday it says ..Big night out...Is that when JJRD will do his belly dance ! |
