Memet Erol, Photographer, Istanbul

Description

This stark monochrome portrait by photographer Memet Erol in Istanbul captures two men in a close-up studio setting against a plain white background with visible film borders. One man with curly hair and a black t-shirt is touching the hair of a second man who wears a glossy patent leather coat and a buttoned shirt underneath. The lighting is direct and high contrast, creating sharp specular highlights on the glossy jacket surface. The composition is intimate and vertical, focusing heavily on the interaction and textures between the two subjects.
