This UK-based scientist slash photographer shows us how intuition and logic collide.

Where did you grow up? I was born and raised in Amman,

the capital city of Jordan and home to almost 50 per cent

of the entire population of Jordan. I feel like a tour guide

when I’m asked to describe Amman because I get all

worked up and excited about it. It was originally built on

seven hills, which I always considered very poetic. I grew

up living in the hills only a few minutes away from my best

friend. My most precious memories are of us walking to the

shops to get ice lollies and lemonade then sitting in the

meadows to have picnics with our neighbours.

Why are you drawn to shooting landscapes and nature? I like to shoot where I feel at total peace with myself and

with the world. I am quite introverted by nature and find

that going out into the wilderness on my own or with a few

friends is the best way to recharge.

Tell us a bit about your last trip out in nature? I visited the

Swiss Alps with my brother last August and it was absolutely

magical. My favourite part of our trip was the train journey

from Lucerne to Interlaken. I must have used up about

three rolls of film on this train [trip] alone. The skies were

roaring with thunder and there were waterfalls trickling

down the misty mountains that we passed through. It was

all very atmospheric. After a few hours in Interlaken, the

weather started drying up and a rainbow appeared just as

we made our way up to the top of the Männlichen.

Where and why did you buy your first camera? When I

was little I had a Kodak film camera that my mum brought

back from one of her trips to the USA. My first photography

subjects were my brothers. I used to get them to dress

up and pull off silly poses next to our collection of toys,

mainly their favourite action figures. I was also into creating

‘photo stories’ at family gatherings and showing everyone

the results weeks later. I guess this sparked my interest in

photography, but it wasn’t until 2009, when I was 18, that I

bought my own camera and started shooting landscapes.

What kind of science research do you do in your day job?

I work in drug discovery and development. I specialised in

When a friend tells you they’ve slept in a fairy chimney,

travelled in a balloon as big as a whale, explored a

subterranean city and wandered through a valley filled with

giant mushrooms, you respond in one of two ways. “Those

lucid dream classes are really paying off” or, “You lucky

devil, you’ve been to Cappadocia!” If it’s the latter and

you’re on the money, your mate was indeed fortuitous to

have ventured to this stone mirage in the heart of Turkey’s

Anatolia region. Almost too trippy to believe, this is a land

where ancient rock formations reach up out of the earth

like greedy hands. Where you can use the word troglodyte

for real. Where you can feel free to get high first thing in the

morning (in a hot air balloon, silly). And where you can suck

shisha pipes, chug apple tea, gobble gözleme and bargain

for psychedelic textiles until your eyes roll back in your head

and you forget there was ever a time when you didn’t

know what a kilim was.

FEISTY FORMATIONS Remember those sandcastles you made as a kid, where

you dribbled a fistful of wet sand into a goopy, pointy pile?

Well they – or something resembling a monstrous version

of them – are the first things you’ll see as you drive into

Cappadocia. These infamous fairy chimneys were created

when three nearby volcanoes started erupting like Snoop

Dogg on stage, dropping volcanic ash, lava and basalt

all over the region like it was very, very hot. Earthquakes

and erosion then whipped all that up into today’s rock

cones, pillars, mushrooms and chimneys, some of which

have had boutique hotels and houses carved into them.

The dusty gullies surrounding the formations are lots of fun

to walk through, so you’d better pack your Timberlands. If

you’re exploring the pink folded cliffs of Rose Valley, where

Fantasia has been real all along, and we’ve just found it in the ancient, dusty scapes and air balloon sky-confetti of Turkey. WORDS AND PHOTOS NINA KARNIKOWSKI
