Yusuf Sevin�li

Turk Photographer | Born: 1980

Sevin�li�s images are highly personal, subjective and dreamlike, in which place and time are uncertain, redolent instead of a deeply felt vision of the world. His fleeting images of everyday life have an air of timelessness about them. Aesthetically and formally they manifest Sevin�li�s respect and deep engagement with the history of photography.

Yusuf Sevin�li earned a bachelor�s degree in communications at Marmara University (Istanbul) in 2003, and attended a Masterclass dedicated to documentary photography in Sweden in 2005. From that moment on, he started building his own work through different series which include Good Dog (2012), Marseille (2014), Walking (2015) and exhibited in several solo and group shows in Le Botanique (Brussels, Belgium), Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire (Paris, France), Arter (Istanbul, Turkey), Angkor Festival (Angkor, Cambodia), Istanbul Modern (Istanbul, Turkey), Gallery Boavista (Lisbon, Portugal), Atelier de Visu (Marseille, France), Elipsis Gallery (Istanbul, Turkey), Rencontres d�Arles (Arles, France). One of his latest series �D�rive� has been presented in several places in France, such as La Filature in Mulhouse, Le Ch�teau d�Eau in Toulouse, L�Atelier, Nantes as well as in Moscow during the city�s Biennal of Photography in 2016. He lives and works in Istanbul.

Good Dog

Author: Yusuf Sevin�li

Publisher: Filigranes Editions

Year: 2012 - Pages: 64

Inspired in part by Daido Moriyama's grim 1971 photograph �Stray Dog�, Yusuf Sevincli�s high contrast black-and-white photographs explore his neighborhood in Istanbul. The images, abused with scratches and stains, suggest a thriving human element despite the area�s harsh conditions. Good Dog is brutally poetic, a reminder that �what was felt is what was lived�, its melancholic images resonating on both a visual and emotional level.

My early fascinations of painting and photography was combined (…)
