    Beb (Benidorm electric blue) 2017-2021

    The song from Los del Rio* has always told us that Seville has a special color (by the way, I still do not know which one it is). From Benidorm, which also has a “special color”, I found it very quickly: The electric blue. Beyond the “guiri”* tourism and IMSERSO* travellers, Benidorm gives off joy, light and color in all its corners. The Sun of the Levant and the Mediterranean sea, are the main guilties of all this. In this context of almost infinite vacations, is where the electric blue is omnipresent. In the streets, in the buildings, in the posters, in the clothes and of course in the sky and in the sea. Everything is blue. My surrendered look, was seduced by the blue, mainly because escape from it is almost an impossible task. The images of this serie were born from this almost dictatorial charm.*Los del Río: Spanish musical duo characterized by its flamenco style of flamenco pop and flamenco rumba. *Guiri: Colloquial term to refer to foreign tourists. *IMSERSO: Institute of Seniors and Social Services of the Government of Spain.

    Comitiva

    “Comitiva” is an Italian term that refers to a group of young friends with a close bond of friendship. I met this group of young people along the shores of a small town in southern Italy in the summer of 2020 by chance. We spent a few afternoons together where I captured their daily rituals along the rocky beaches that characterize the landscape of their sea. With this series, I tell the intimate dynamics of a group of friends and their desire to live and be together. Framing the beauty of their youth, they appear to me as timeless bronze statues, and I try to relive the lightheartedness of an Italian summer.

    Circus

    A world unto itself that of the Circus, a world suspended in its elusive and eclectic universe with unpredictable declinations of colors, shapes, sounds and smells. Where everything seems the opposite of everything and what appears is not or perhaps is only the instant stolen from the imagination of a constantly changing scenario, always poised between reality and dreams. The images are only part of the work that involved an autistic girl who lives in the circus. The project ended with the creation of a book.

    Columns, Poles and Trees – Vertical Lines in the Street

    Each of the pictures of Columns, Poles and Trees“ combines a formal element of composition – the vertical line – with the spontaneity of street photography. Thus, the series aims to explore the interplay of formality and  freedom. In composition, strong lines divide the basic area of a picture into several smaller sections. Harald Mante, author of  The Photograph: Composition and Color Design“ writes that vertical lines suggest closeness and warmth – contrasting the effect of horizontal lines suggesting distance and coolness. This resonates well with the intention of street photography to draw us into various urban scenes. Street photography also intends to capture unique moments within everyday life and tells little stories about them. In the series the vertical elements are integrated into these little stories. We see people partly hidden behind a tree, leaning against a pole or fingers grabbing a pole.

    Centrevilliens – Dontown citizens

    Hi there, last year was special for everyone, i focused on the citizens of my little town of Rodez in the south of France as we was living between the multiple levels of lockdown. I was participating for the Ricoh GR challenge with all the finalists of the Spi awards 2020 and i have to say that it was a special moment with a lot of luck and good energy. This kind of times when things happen with an idea in it, i feel i just have to capture them in the timing. I selected this ten photos because of the short period in witch i did them and it seems to me that they fit well with each others and making a good série of how i saw my city and the ones who was living it with me in this hard cover situation, maybe i needed to put more creativity into my work to balance. I only used the Ricoh GR3 for this série. Thanks a lot for your time !

     Scalpels of the Sun

    Scalpels of the Sun In Mexico the sun defines how we experience the street. Its twin scalpels of light and shadow often appear to sculpt the public space into a magical realist’s creation of mystery and high drama. As a matter of fact, however, my camera only recorded the typically random events of daily life.
    Amongst other things these photographs depict a child at a carnival , a commuter waiting for a bus, and a dog leaping over a city wall. But maybe it’s sometimes better to suspend our faith in the camera’s ability to render definitive narratives, and instead embrace its ability to generate ambiguous meanings and reverie. It’s in that spirit that I made these photographs, and now invite viewers to engage with them.

    The Wedding Street

    I am a street and wedding photographer based in the UK. Weddings for so long came with a traditional stigma and I’ve tried to put my own street photography spin into it. Weddings don’t have to be static and lifeless. Amazing things happen during these special days. Just like on the street serendipitous moments always occur and I see it as a game trying to capture them in a street
    photography fashion. The two genres are so similar in my eyes and there are no rules to how weddings have to be captured.

    Food Chain

    Every day the fisherman from the seaside towns of Prampram, Cape Coast, and Ada, Ghana, head out to sea where they fish up to 40 kilometers offshore. For generations families of these communities have fished the Atlantic Ocean. What they catch will determine the livelihood of the community and their families. Rising early to fight with the breakers, and after a pause for prayer, the 10-hour workday ensues. Back on land the selling, cleaning, and cooking of the fish is a lively affair. Working hand to mouth, the fish are sold and taken in baskets by families and prepared for frying in oil for the night’s dinner. Some days there are barely any fish from the day’s work. To make matters worse, due to overfishing by many big fleets from China there is a depleted supply of fish. Millions of dollars per year are reported to be taken from the Ghana economy by overfishing from foreign countries. Because of this the government of Ghana has implemented an annual one-month fishing ban on local fisherman. Many do not know how they will make a living for the length of this ban, and fish illegally risking fines in order to feed themselves. With supplies of fish dwindling and the broken food chain as a result, these communities have little to fall back on, and the future of the Ghanaian fishing occupation is in danger of being inundated.

    THE IBERIANS

    The Iberian Peninsula is a geographical concept formed by Spain and Portugal, two geographically united countries but separately by an invisible border. THE IBERIANS is an essay about my travels through this territory visually narrating the things that happen while wandering around Iberia, how to write in a sketchbook. The knowledge of a specific territory gives depth and meaning to my project, that is why my work is a continuous journey through Spain and Portugal .
    They are places where I explore the concepts of territory, border, light, memory and identity through the observation of the other. As Fernando Pessoa wrote: “… Portugal and Spain, it would be said that the two countries have finally realized that a border if it separates, also unites, and that if two neighboring nations are two because they are two, they can morally be almost one because they are neighbors.” In The Iberians I rediscover the common places, their people, their culture, their realities circumscribed to a geography, in short I explore the human condition.

    I am Emir Sevim.  I was born in 1991 in Istanbul and still live here.  I graduated from Cinema and TV department in 2015.  I started taking photos in 2011.  My first photographs were mostly about portraits, landscapes and architecture.  In the last 4-5 years, I discovered that street photography reflects me better and I started taking street photos.  I like to use light, shadow, humor, juxta subjects in my photos.  At the beginning of 2021, I became a member of the Turkuaz Street Collective.  I continue my studies individually and collectively.

    Women

    The city and the passage of time. Torn, ripped, dirty posters. “Paper women” who were once the target of the false beauty of advertising, now show much deeper feelings in an arbitrary way thanks to small imperfections. There are no more luxuries, no “clichés”. Women discover themselves through empowerment, maturity, sadness. I am pleased to present this series called “WOMEN”, a study of stereotypes of women in advertising. My small vindication in the form of street photographs.
