About
I make photographs where sky, water and concrete meet. In portraits, I am drawn to simple, direct faces and small movements, leaving space for others to step into the scene.
Sibel Kusdemir is a self-taught photographer drawn to quiet compositions of sky, water and architecture. She works with natural light and minimal elements, stripping the frame back until only what feels essential remains. Her images often look simple at first glance: an empty horizon, a single contrail, a piece of concrete against the sky, yet they are her way of arranging chaos into something precise and calm.
Her work sits somewhere between document and abstraction: real places, reduced to lines, colour and tension. She has been photographing for nearly a decade and currently lives in London, Ontario, with roots in Turkey. She is interested in how small details can hold entire stories and keeps returning to the question of what remains when everything unnecessary has been cut away from the frame.
Alongside her visual work, Sibel is a PhD candidate in Nursing. Beyond photography and research, she reads widely, pays close attention to cinematography, and is drawn to cities with restrained architecture and muted light, especially in Northern Europe and Quebec. A selection of her work can also be found on Unsplash.
