Untitled Portraits — Anatolia — Black / 12Half a Smile
Black and white close portrait of an older man in a dark knit beanie and striped shirt, half-smiling, a dark hillside falling away behind him — fine art portrait by Sefa Yamak, Anatolia series.

Anatolia, Turkey · 2017

Half a Smile

He tipped his head a little and gave me half a smile.

This story imagines, it does not document. It is what the photograph made me feel.

The beanie sat low and the light only reached his face. Behind him the hillside dropped into shadow, so it was him and not much else.
