Untitled Portraits — Istanbul / 03Brick and Years
Close portrait of an older woman with deeply lined skin and pale eyes against a brick wall — street photograph by Sefa Yamak, Istanbul series.

Istanbul, Turkey · 2018

Brick and Years

She sat against a brick wall and let me come close.

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

Every line on her face caught the light, and her eyes held two different colors of attention. She did not arrange herself or soften anything. I stayed quiet and let the wall and her face do the talking.
