I am an industrial engineering undergraduate from Istanbul and I work as a robotic process automation (RPA) Business Analyst. I am deeply engaged with photography, art history and literature. I share my photography works on my Instagram account @bunyaminaydin_ and on my Lomography page https://www.lomography.com/homes/bunyamin
Any tiny little detail about people and places can give me such joy. I like to observe and discover interconnected stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Stromae, Benjamin Clementine, Mashrou’ Leila. I love the song California Dream (because of the movie “Chungking Express”, obviously). My music range is quite wide actually so I cannot really display my taste here. Movies; where to start! Some of the earlier movies that I ever watched as a child were Life is Beautiful, The Passion of Christ, and (randomly) Stuart Little. I love the movie Cloud Atlas. Tilda Swinton is my muse, I like whatever she involves with but the movie Orlando is very special to me. Suspiria (2018) was inspirational. I’m surrounded by so many books, from fiction to non-fiction. The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa is my ultimate reference book in life, I like anything from Rainer Marie Rilke and E.T.A. Hoffmann.

Teach, Learn, Share
