Before dawn, hundreds of men gather in the streets around the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.
These men are here as porters, a profession which dates back to Ottoman times.
The men transfer bundles of clothes and fabrics, often weighing up to 200 kilogrammes, along the narrow lanes and up steps to reach shopkeepers and craftspeople who rely on their services.
Kamil Beldek is a shop owner who admits they cannot do without them.
However, numerous merchants have moved from the bazaar's restrictive streets to more accessible areas, so people are anxious that the custom will disappear with them.
Porter Mehmet Toktas, like his uncle before him, is a porter.
He believes that young people today are incapable of doing such challenging work.
But urban historian Necdet Sakaoglu, who has documented the role of the porter since its highpoint in the 19th century, asserts that every generation of porters has said the same.
There are strict rules amongst porters, who each work a tiny section of the bazaar, keeping their own tradespeople.
Although there are concerns about this ancient tradition, Sakaoglu is convinced it will remain, out of necessity.
