Back to back
At 42nd Street station, two men sit back to back, folded into themselves. Their bodies mirror exhaustion, separated yet bound by the same platform. I photographed this scene as a quiet reflection on economic strain—how hardship isolates individuals while placing them side by side in the same system.

About Artist
Alp Turgut
Alp works in cinematic black and white street and documentary photography, focusing on human presence and quiet narratives within everyday life. Each day, he seeks moments that often go unnoticed; scenes where time seems to pause and reality becomes cinematic. His work invites the viewer to slow down, spend time with the image, and get lost within the frame.
