About Engin Ertan Photography
Engin Ertan's photos stay mainly in the borders of documentary photography. He is keen and respectful to the lives of his models and the reality behind it. Despite the above he also does not try to prove a social idea or statement. He prefers to leave the judgement or the statement to his viewers.
Additionally he likes to reach the esthetics in the daily lives. He believes that he can reach the artistic expression in photography by discovering the inner side of his models. Inner side, not necessarily the portraits or faces full of emotion; but sometimes by a frozen action or a sequence of motions or symbols that are not common to our vision.
He believes that it is required to cooperate and communicate in teams with the other elements of the projects in order to improve the artistic expression in the projects either he takes a part or he produces. He has experienced frequent times that one plus one makes more than two only with such a team spirit. He has formed the 2+Art Group with Fuat Oburoglu due to such a requirement.
He prefers to use light SLR cameras (which is in a way a necessity for his type of photography) where he can freeze any activity quickly and gain ultimate mobility.
