Ci Demi.
Photographer based
in Istanbul. He studied Italian Language and Literature
at Istanbul University.

Artists personal work explores the psychogeography of Istanbul, intricately weaving together intimate narratives of the city's landscape with his own lived experiences.

While he adopts a documentarian approach to his images—ensuring they are always unaltered and unstaged—the colour palette he employs is crucial to his storytelling.

Drawing inspiration from Italian horror/thriller films of the 1970s, known as giallos, he meticulously crafts a sense of "quiet tension" through his use of colour.
