flyin away (2023) Photographie par Ahmet Reha Demir

 A. Reha DemirHe was born on January 3, 1976 in Eskişehir. After completing secondary and high school at Ankara Anıttepe High School, he studied at Eskişehir Anadolu University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences. He graduated from the Department of Economics in 2000. Although he has not received any academic training in photography or art, he continues to provide education and improve himself in this field. His habit of looking at any moment or object more closely or from different angles, and the fact that photography offers the opportunity to reveal the harmony and aesthetics of everything hidden beyond what is visible when viewed from a different angle, led him to express the life he wanted to show, through photography.

What is photography?  Or what is photography from my perspective?  Photography is not just pointing an image-capturing device at a landscape and storing that image, as many people think.  It means seeing something different from everyone else in something you look at, and even interpreting that thing in your own way and extracting what needs to be seen from that thing.  Just as a sculptor's material can be a block of stone or a tree trunk, a photographer's material is the life flowing around him.  Just as when a sculptor sees a marble block, he sees not just a piece of stone but the work of art that will emerge when he removes the excess from that piece of stone, for a photographer, the life flowing around him is just like this piece of stone.  He captures a moment of it, looks at it closer than anyone else has looked at it, or from an angle no one has looked at it before. He transfers that harmony, texture, reflection, movement or a look to the image using different techniques, and creates a work as if he were removing a sculpture from a piece of stone.  And the most important feature of this work is that it is one and only.  That scene only happened at that moment, and it was taken from that angle and distance by a person who is one of the billions of people who are currently living and will live in the world who took the photo, and it was interpreted and turned into a work by that person.  And no one can do the same again.  Even the person who took the photo
