EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Murad Sezer, a member of the police special forces stands as a vigilant guardian, monitoring the area while activists march along the bustling main shopping and pedestrian street of Istiklal in Istanbul. The image was taken on March 8,2018, during a rally held to commemorate International Women's Day. The unidentified officer remains unrecognizable behind his imposing silhouette and out-of-focus surroundings. His presence symbolizes both protection and potential danger, highlighting the complex nature of urban city life. With an air of mystery surrounding him, he becomes an enigmatic figure against the backdrop of towering buildings and creative architectural elements. As sunlight filters through the depth of field, casting shadows across his form, it emphasizes his role as a sniper for law enforcement. Holding a firearm at the ready but remaining alone in his task, he embodies strength and dedication to maintaining peace within society. This photograph captures not only one man's commitment to public safety but also serves as a reminder that even amidst vibrant city life and its people going about their daily routines, there are those who silently work towards ensuring our environment remains secure. It is an evocative portrayal that encapsulates both tension and harmony between activism and security forces on this significant day dedicated to women worldwide.
