DESCRIPTION
With the twin peaks of Mount Erciyes rising in the distance like silent witnesses, a band of Yılkı horses charges across the vast Turkish Anatolian plateau. The land stretches endlessly before them — a muted palette of dust, sage, and sunlight — while the nearby village rests quietly in the background, hinting at the delicate boundary between the wild and the domesticated. These horses, once part of working life, now roam free, their instincts guiding them across ancestral terrain. There’s a quiet dignity in the scene — a sense that the horses are not simply moving forward, but returning to something eternal and instinctual. The snow-capped mountains, the distant minarets, and the open field create a natural triptych of heritage, faith, and freedom.
AUTHOR
I come from a family of entrepreneurs, artists, photographers, and art enthusiasts. I graduated with a B.A. in Fine Art with an emphasis on Graphic Design and also studied computer graphics, painting, drawing and photography. While I've spent most of my career building web-based companies, my creative outlet continues to be exploring the natural world and finding beauty across the planet through photography.
