Travel, Culture, And Humanity: 30 Stunning Images By Photographer F. Dilek Yurdakul
F. Dilek Yurdakul isn’t just a lawyer or a photographer—she’s a storyteller on a mission to inspire. Born in Çanakkale, Turkey, she balances a career in law with her passion for photography, capturing breathtaking travel, street, and documentary images that tell the stories of the people and cities she encounters.
Over the past seven years, she’s shifted her focus to social responsibility projects, using her lens to shed light on important issues. “As a woman, a lawyer, and a mother, I want to show that change is possible,” she’s shared during TEDx talks and university lectures. With over 200 awards (yes, 200), including titles from National Geographic and Sony, she’s proved her talent time and again. Her ultimate goal? To inspire young women and increase awareness of the untold stories she brings to life through her work.

From the photographer's instagram: "Kalash women wash their hair in summer and winter in the stream in their village. Because according to the Kalash, who do not believe in the 3 major religions and Hinduism, washing their hair at home brings bad luck to the whole village. For this reason, Kalash women wash their hair in the open and by the flowing water."
