Photos of Turkey are my focus here, though the small cameras have minor video features, but please do contact Nacia below if you have good video from there.

Hello, I am a producer of a travel documentary and am looking for video footage of Istanbul, the city, the buildings, mosques etc. Do you by chance have any DV footage that you would be willing to license for use in a video program? If anyone else has it, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!
