Sevil Alkan: Stray with me | MONOVISIONS - Black & White Photography Magazine

MonoVisions Black & White Photo Contest 2024

Taking photography by mobile phones created a new trend by changing the border and direction of the photography, mobile photography turns out to be a global movement which develops quickly and is fed by continuous impressive production. It achieves to be one of the photographic movements which creates the means for new approaches and experimental works. By using my mobile phone, I am after the innovative experiences and records in the city, on the streets. Daily life and ordinary people are my core photography subject. I try to create different sense of perception reaching to emotional levels of the viewer by unveiling everyday subject’s complexity.
