Memet Erol, Photographer, Istanbul

Description

This striking photographic portrait by Istanbul-based photographer Memet Erol utilizes a high-contrast inverted black and white aesthetic. A person with short hair is seated in profile upon a plain block against a pitch-black background. The subject wears dark, flowing garments that drape downward, creating strong geometric shapes and dramatic negative space. The high-key monochromatic treatment gives the entire scene an ethereal, graphic quality.
