Elderly Istanbul Shopkeeper at Battery & Lighters

Photorealistic, cinematic scene of an elderly Turkish shopkeeper standing beside his traditional storefront on a narrow cobblestone street in Istanbul. The small wooden shop displays a weathered sign reading 'Batteries & Lighters' and a dusty window with glass display cases filled with vintage batteries, lighters, and tins. The man wears a worn apron and a flat cap, with a warm, gentle smile. Outside, pastel Ottoman-era buildings, laundry lines, and a few stray cats create a lively neighborhood vibe. In the distance, a minaret rises against a golden-hour sky. Warm, golden light bathes aged wood, brass hardware, and faded paint, giving a nostalgic mood and a strong sense of place and history.
