Photographer Yıldız Çelik’s portraits of labor and life in 1980s now accessible online



Photographer and photojournalist Yıldız Çelik’s archive, known for its focus on human stories, is now accessible online through Salt Research.

The collection, added to Salt Research’s Urban, Society, and Economic Archive, features photographs taken by Çelik in the late 1980s around Kazlıçeşme and the Galata Bridge.

Images from Kazlıçeşme capture the working conditions in leather factories shortly before their relocation to Tuzla, while photos from Eminönü and Karaköy document the construction of the new Galata Bridge and the transformation of the surrounding area.
