M: Our first question is, Why photography? How did you get started? Is there any successful person you take as an example?
BYD: My real job is not photography, 20 years ago, when I moved from a big place to a small place, I felt in space, I looked for an interest, a hobby. I bought a camera on my brother's advice. I learned using it, I did not receive any training. The person I take as an example Ara Güler. He is very successful, I follow his works with great interest.
