Baptism of the Sea
Some rituals belong more to memory than history. I came across this quiet moment in Barbados as a horse entered the sea with its keeper, surrounded only by waves and light. I photographed it to preserve the fragile connection between humanity, animals and the timeless rhythm of the ocean.

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.
