This interview with Hüseyin Ovayolu accompanies our online release of his photographic collection Uprooted, a black and white exploration of borders, displacement, migration, and belonging.
Cameron Thibos (BTS): Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
Hüseyin Ovayolu: I was born in 1986 in Gaziantep, a city in southern Turkey. After finishing high school, I received a full scholarship to study photography and videography at Bilgi University in Istanbul. I also completed the documentary photography programme at the Turkish Photography Foundation in this period.
