Esquire Turkey: Esquire Turkey September 2024 Cover

Sep 2024

For the September 2024 cover story of Esquire Turkey, photographer Emre Dogru captures Turkish actor Barış Arduç in a series of portraits defined by their moody, cinematic aesthetic. The project explores the intersection of classic menswear and urban atmosphere, utilizing low-key chiaroscuro lighting to create depth and focus on the subject. Across both indoor and outdoor settings, the imagery leans into a sophisticated editorial style. One sequence features Arduç in formal attire against the historic architectural backdrop of Istanbul at dusk, while interior frames leverage mirrors, soft bokeh, and intricate light play to maintain a high-contrast visual identity throughout the feature.
