Erdi Doğan, Photographer, Istanbul

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a bearded man with dark, wavy hair, captured mid-action while holding a vintage rotary telephone handset to his ear. He wears a dark leather jacket with a textured collar over a light shirt, complemented by patterned trousers and a metallic wristwatch. The lighting creates stark highlights and deep shadows across his face and attire, emphasizing the dramatic texture of the leather and his focused gaze. Captured by photographer Erdi Dogan in Istanbul, the composition highlights a candid, retro-inspired aesthetic.
