Street Water Reflect as Mirror by Karthick Saravanan
While wandering along a roadside, the aftermath of a recent rainfall transformed the scene into a canvas ripe for capture. Puddles of rainwater scattered across the road became mirrors, reflecting the world above. Behind these reflective surfaces stood a tree, a shop, and a parked vehicle, each contributing to the composition of the moment. The photographer, seizing this opportunity, utilized the water's surface to capture a reflection of the scene, turning an ordinary street view into an intriguing play of light, shadow, and reflection. This image, a testament to the photographer's eye for capturing the beauty in everyday moments, showcases a dual perspective of life and its mirrored counterpart, offering a moment of pause and appreciation for the transient beauty of the post-rain streetscape.
The Train of Adana by Ilyas Yilmaz
One of my favourite photos, the train of Adana, makes me and other people travel between the past and the present. It reminds some of their childhood, to others of their early youth. This nostalgic and romantic look, which is not found in other means of transportation, came to life on my camera.
A Horseman by Ilyas Yilmaz
The story of this photo is very interesting. In the winter of 2022, there was an extraordinary snowfall in Gaziantep. The roads are closed. Vehicles were buried in the snow. Transportation was paralyzed. I was walking to the market when I saw a horseman. It was so incredible for me.
