Sevinçli’s images of everyday life are dreamlike. They have an air of timelessness about them. Aesthetically, they manifest Sevinçli’s respect and deep engagement with the history of photography.
After a Masterclass dedicated to documentary photography in Sweden in 2005, Sevinçli started building his own work through different series which started with Good Dog in 2012. His photographies were exhibited in several solo and group shows in Le Botanique (Brussels, Belgium), Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire (Paris, France), Arter (Istanbul, Turkey), Rencontres d’Arles (Arles, France). One of his latest series ‘Dérive’ has been presented in several places in France, as well as in Moscow during the city’s Biennal of Photography in 2016.
