Thanks to Kerwin, we’re able to appreciate their beauty and architectural detail.
However, it failed with four of my top targetsI arrived, and they had vanished.
Luckily, even with this hit-and-miss strategy, Kerwin found plenty of architecture to spark his creativity.
Through this series, Kerwin hopes to share the rich heritage of Turkey and its architecture.
To him, it’s particularly important given that most tourists only visit a small fraction of the country.

James Kerwin is known for his photography of abandoned spaces.
For his new series,The Sanctuary, he traveled across Turkey searching for abandoned mosques.
He visited over 40 villages and found some mosques that were over 500 years old.
Many of these spaces have been left behind in favor of modern places of worship.
But through his photographs, we can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the interiors.
