Instants Colorés: Karaköy et Kadıköy
Ce projet photographique prĂ©sente une sĂ©rie de huit images capturĂ©es sur pellicule couleur, explorant les cĂŽtes maritimes emblĂ©matiques de Karaköy et Kadıköy Ă  Istanbul. À travers ces clichĂ©s, nous dĂ©couvrons comment les habitants d'Istanbul entretiennent une relation intime et profonde avec la mer. Chaque photo rĂ©vĂšle des moments authentiques oĂč la vie quotidienne se mĂȘle Ă  la beautĂ© naturelle des paysages cĂŽtiers, offrant un aperçu unique de l'Ăąme maritime de cette ville fascinante.

Les photographies ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©es avec deux appareils distincts : un Leica M-2 Ă©quipĂ© d'un objectif 50mm, et un Fuji GW690 III au format moyen. Ces outils ont permis de saisir la richesse des couleurs et la profondeur des dĂ©tails, tout en capturant l'essence des interactions humaines avec la mer. Les images tĂ©moignent de la maniĂšre dont les habitants d'Istanbul vivent en harmonie avec leur environnement maritime, illustrant des scĂšnes de pĂȘche, de promenades le long des quais, et de moments de dĂ©tente au bord de l'eau.
La Solitude - Exposition photo de Masis Usenmez Vernissage 1er mars Ă  19h
Du Vendredi 01 Mars 2024 Ă  19h00 au Samedi 30 Mars 2024 Ă  17h00

Dans ce vaste univers des Ă©motions humaines, un fil singulier transcende toutes les frontiĂšres : la solitude. Cette Ă©motion ne connaĂźt ni l’ñge, ni le contexte social, et elle ne dĂ©pend pas du mode de vie.

À travers l’objectif de mon appareil photo, j’ai entrepris un voyage envoĂ»tant, devenu le cƓur et l’ñme de ma sĂ©rie intitulĂ©e “La Solitude”. Mon appareil est devenu une extension de moi-mĂȘme, un outil pour capturer l’essence de cette Ă©motion profonde. Je me suis aventurĂ© dans les rues, oĂč le théùtre de la vie se dĂ©voile Ă  chaque pas, pour rĂ©vĂ©ler l’énigme de la solitude. La photographie en noir et blanc, avec son charme intemporel, a Ă©tĂ© mon choix pour capturer les subtilitĂ©s de cette Ă©motion. En Ă©liminant les distractions de la couleur, j’ai mis en lumiĂšre l’interaction de la lumiĂšre et de l’ombre. En explorant les rues animĂ©es, j’ai trouvĂ© un moyen puissant de capturer l’essence de la solitude au milieu de la foule.

Mon objectif s’est tournĂ© vers ceux qui marchaient seuls, portant le poids de leurs Ă©motions au cƓur du chaos de la vie urbaine.

En 2020, ma sĂ©rie “La Solitude” a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©compensĂ©e du prix de la meilleure sĂ©rie en noir et blanc lors des rencontres photographiques Photofolie.
"MASISTANBUL" Exhibition at the Regards de Voyageurs Festival - October 28th & 29th
This exhibition is a celebration of the vibrant street life of Istanbul, captured through my candid photographic approach and my passion for black and white street photography. Over 15 years, I've traversed the city in search of rare and intimate moments, capturing the emotions and atmosphere of this magnificent metropolis.
Each photograph represents a snapshot of daily life, taken at the decisive moment when everything converges to create a memorable image. My street photography aims to capture moments of life that reflect Istanbul's culture and history, while also showcasing my love for photographing people and places.
With timeless, nostalgic images and high contrast, I take pride in presenting this series as a tribute to Istanbul's street life and its enduring charm. Join me at the Regards de Voyageurs Festival to experience the essence of Istanbul through my lens.
Another exciting exhibition is coming your way!

Istanbul is a city of timeless beauty, steeped in a rich culture. From the bustling life of its modern and vibrant streets to the enduring charm of its historic core, Istanbul offers something for everyone.

Each photograph is a piece of this timeless tale, bringing forth the spirit of Kirkpinar in all its glory.

I saw you suffering
 
The city of Istanbul is divided by a sea lane called the Bosphorus Strait. The Ferries have traversed these waters for millennia and were the only mode of transport between the European and Asian halves of Istanbul before the bridges. When I was working in Istanbul, my daily job did not give me many opportunities for photography. There was no time to get out to the office and shoot. For that reason, I used my commuting times to shoot photos on public transport. I was living in Asia and my work was in the European part, so I was using ferries mostly. I was with them, and everyone had a different story to tell. I want to capture their emotions. This series of photos looks at the people in the ferry lines and tries to connect them with the viewers using the power of photography. We, photographers, put lens glass between people and ourselves. Now, I put another glass window in this series to isolate myself and give my subject a different story. 
MY collection Kar: Istanbul Under Snow is chosen notable drops by OpenSea. You can check all NFT photographs from the link below. 
I'm featuring on France Photography Federation's magazine France Photographie with my Photo series Shadows and Silhouettes.
