In 2016, he became a member of the “Turkuaz Street” team. He is the author of such projects as “East”, “Metro”, “Charshi”, “Istanblues”, “Ukraine” .

Tural Rahmanli`s “Ukraine” creates bridges not only between the profession and reporting, but also between different people and times. The author demonstrates the darkness and gloom of the country he visited in a poetic style. He addresses the social crisis of Ukraine, its society, crowded with everything and everyone. On these bridges, he can contemplate the present and past of a society that has seen many trials in its lifetime. The feeling of chills from viewing cold shots is immediately replaced by warm portraits of people taken from a close-up. Tural invites viewers to read human issues through a kind of aesthetic language.
