Three Days in Istanbul
Hi, my name is Matthew Garza. I’m a Cuban-Mexican photographer, native to Chicago, with a love for travel. These pages are my record of three days spent wandering Istanbul.
I work in both film and digital, specializing in fine art, street photography, and landscapes. My passion is storytelling through honest, authentic imagery. My work aims to capture the beauty of everyday life and natural environments.

I carried my camera through Istanbul without a set plan, letting the city do its thing—the markets, the ferries, the side streets where life unfolds quietly. Every turn had a story, and I’m so happy to share the ones I found here with you.
