Metin Demiralay Photography

While researching other photographers and their work, I came across Turkish Photographer Metin Demiralay. I really like the composition and lighting in a lot of his images and decided to publish a few that I found striking.



What I like about the image above is the angle in which he took it, the way the sun glows around the model, the clarity and intesity of the sky and the colours of the image. It looks somewhat fake yet in contradiction so detailed and real.

(Above) I love the soft colours which blend in together behind her which compliment her colouring so well, yet keep her as the main focus as everything aside from the model is completly out of focus.

(Above) I found this image really striking and its because its so simple and he feel he really accentuated the model's long neck. Everytime I look at it, it reminds me of Botticelli's Ranaissance painting 'The Birth of Venus', in this painting Botticelli achieved perfect hormony and part of how he did this was by exaggerating the length of Venus's neck.

(Above) I have been wanting to experiment in taking a photograph reflecting the effects of blinds for a while now and when i seen this photograph I liked it because of the tones of the image and the interesting effect the blinds have left.

(Above) I decided to add the above image because I think the subject is simple yet the composition is strong.
