Recently, I attended a photography workshop titled “Uncanny.” The photos here were taken in connection with the workshop. The uncanny is a concept that describes a feeling of discomfort arising from the interplay between the real and the unreal. It was particularly explored by the Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in his 1919 essay “Das Unheimliche.” […]

You can’t help but feel happy when you see and hear a noisy student truck roll by with jubilant, bouncing young people. It is still a great achievement to graduate, but in the past, the graduation exam represented both academic excellence and social mobility. Unlike today, where education is more accessible and widely recognized as

Behind every photograph stands a photographer, whose decisions fundamentally affect the portrayal of reality. The choice of subject, framing, angle, lighting, and timing of capture all contribute to the final image.

In this photograph I have intentionally moved the camera during exposure. Normally, one tries to keep the camera still and choose a fast enough shutter speed for the image not to become blurry and shaky. Here, I have done the exact opposite. In English, this photographic technique is called ICM (Intentional Camera Movement). There are

In a world often measured in likes, comments and shares, deleting my social media accounts might have seemed like a bold decision. But for me, it was exactly what I needed to start focusing on photography as an art form. I felt trapped in a cycle of constantly seeking validation on platforms like Instagram and

This is one of my minimalist photographs, one with a strong graphic expression. The lines in the image guide the viewer towards the subject, the two individuals. The railing of the staircase stands out in the shades of the sky, guiding the way without becoming dominant. There are two horizontal lines that meet. There are
