I love learning about Turkish photographers, especially because it’s often a scavenger hunt to find their work. I was introduced to the photos of Erdal Kınacı last week, and although he does seem to have his own domain name, there’s only a placeholder there. I have, however, found some of his work in bits and pieces elsewhere. It’s fascinating stuff, and his portrait work is especially impressive.
Also, there’s a very short but interesting Wikipedia page that ends with the cryptic sentence, “he was arrested on July 03, 2008 in Turkey for issues related to his photographs.” Way to leave me hanging, Wikipedia.
