Kyoto Ghoul

There are nights when a city stops feeling real. I photographed this quiet alley in Kyoto after dark, waiting for two strangers to enter the frame. The cold neon glow, empty street and silhouettes created a scene that reminded me of a ghost story unfolding in silence.

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.
