1. Please tell us a bit about yourself.
   Hello, I'm Hüseyin Aldırmaz. I have been working with photography professionally for 30 years. I’m working on street, documentary, and architectural photography. I am the official brand ambassador of Fujifilm Global, a photography instructor and consultant at Fujifilm Turkey. I continue to create content on photography on the photo portal Fujiwalk, which I founded in 2019.

4. Are you a Solo or Collaborative artist?
   I believe photography is an individual work. So far, I have produced all my works by myself and I want to continue that way.

5. How do you/your perception of art differ from others?
   I don't think photography is an art on its own, but I believe that art can be created through photography. In this context, I am working on interpreting the city from my perspective. My focus is not on whether the photograph I capture is considered art, but rather on whether it conveys a story or message. The essential aspect is whether people, when viewing my photos, can glimpse my perspective. That's what truly matters.

6. Is there a fav artist or an artwork that inspired you/your style?
   There are many photographers whose work I admire. The most important ones are Andre Kertesz and Henri Cartier-Bresson.

7. What was the last Exhibition you visited?
   Nuri Bilge Ceylan's “In Another Place” exhibition at Istanbul Modern Museum.

8. What does Innovation mean to you?
   Every person who enters any field of art and produces something should be open to innovations. New and creative ideas not only broaden an artist's horizons but also prevent them from falling behind the times and fuel their creative process.

9. Are you familiar with Web3 /NFTs/Crypto?
   I have been closely involved with NFTs for over a year. While my interest has waned a bit, I still believe that NFTs are an attention-grabbing and crucial area for artists.

10. Is AI your Enemy or Friend?
    We are very close friends :) Blending creative memories with imagination is a vital aspect for AI artists to create extraordinary works that push the boundaries of imagination.

11. Please tell us a bit about a recent piece of the art world that has particularly interested you.
    Refik Anadol's works inspire great admiration in me. I consider him one of the most significant artists of our time. I am not concerned with how he creates his art; rather, I am fascinated by the impact of his work.

12. Any other projects?
    I have been working in the field of architecture and advertising photography for over 20 years. For the last 9 years, I have been shooting all my photography with my Fujifilm equipment. You can see my commercial photos on architecture by visiting my Behance account.

” Photographers, it is crucial to be patient, but more importantly, be curious. Curiosity is the core emotion that will keep the motivation at its highest level. They should strive to create a photographic language of expression, focusing on artistic expression rather than just technical proficiency. ”

“Istanbul” - NFT collected from Hüseyin Aldırmaz

With his mastery the artist's "Dystopia" collection emerges as an experimental masterpiece, brimming with raw power and lasting impressions. Each photograph is a testament to their artistry, employing the harmonious blend of muted tones, desaturated colors, and high contrast. This stylistic approach crafts a hauntingly somber atmosphere, perfectly mirroring the bleak and oppressive nature found within the urban landscapes. The dominance of concrete, steel, and machinery within these settings accentuate the impersonal and dehumanizing facets of a dystopian society, leaving an indelible mark on the viewer's psyche.
