SEFA YAMAK
The Hardest Winter / 15Behind the Frost
Two boys press close behind a frost-and-lace covered window, one smiling, one solemn, eastern Anatolia — fine art portrait by Sefa Yamak, The Hardest Winter series.

Kars, Eastern Anatolia, Turkey · 2017

Behind the Frost

Two boys pushed up close behind a window, the glass half furred with frost and half covered by a lace curtain.

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

One was grinning, the other dead serious, both working out what to make of the man standing outside with a camera. The glass did half the work, softening them and laying its patterns across their faces. I didn't knock or ask them to move. I took it through the window before they got bored and went off to do something else.

— Sefa Yamak, eastern Anatolia, winter. The Hardest Winter series.
