The Still Point
Some moments are defined by movement; others by the stillness at their centre. I made this photograph in Lisbon as a flock suddenly rose around a solitary man. His calm presence, held against the rush of wings, transformed an ordinary city garden into a brief theatre of solitude.

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.
