Zeynep Özkanca, Photographer, Istanbul

Description

This black and white portrait features a mature adult man in a contemplative pose. He is captured from the waist up, looking down with a soft, subdued expression. The man is dressed in dark clothing, which contrasts with the bright, minimalist setting of what appears to be a room with light-colored walls and simple architectural elements. The absence of color focuses attention on the texture of his beard and the play of light on his face. The lighting is soft, enhancing the somber mood of the photograph.
