Istanbul's King of Instagram

Yener Torun sweats the small stuff when it comes to buildings, even when he's just taking a photo of one.

An architect in Istanbul for 14 years now, Torun started his own minimalist photography project on Instagram last year (@cimkedi) after noticing how adept the photo-sharing service was in bringing minute details of simple buildings to life. With a style that arranges people, colors, and shapes so flawlessly, it's hard not to stop and double tap on every Torun photo that appears on your feed.
