Izzet Keribar

Izzet Keribar was a participant of the OSMOSIS Exhibition when shown in the European Parliament in Strasbourg under the auspices of Alecos Alavanos. During that time he showed his photos as well in a workshop session at Poiein kai Prattein in Athens. He left these traces like the amazing photo of that Indian man whose wrinkles in the face resemble so much the folds in his sultan. Timeless, ageless, and yet full of life’s wisdom, he looks through his eyes as to what can be sensed and does not need to be captured even by light in order to exist.

One unique aspect of Kerribar is that he grew up with a Greek nanny and hence speaks fluently Greek as he does many other languages. That made him not into a wanderer through Greece when coming here before going together with the other photographers to Strasbourg, but into someone who knows history and its people from childhood.

He travels far and to many countries. At the same time, Istanbul is his home. His photographic work reflects this unique combination of international flavor and the colorit of Istanbul. That makes him be attentive to things not merely to be imagined but to be seen. A prerequisite for that is to have been there in order to be seen as it is. That applies as well to the wailing wall in Jerusalem where men not only gather to pray and to show their devotion to life, but also exchange news pasted on the walls for everyone who comes along to read and then to discuss. A life without comments to the daily news is like a river bed without water. The images Izzet Kerribar evokes are in reality powerful metaphors taken from split seconds in real life.

In a blog of Earth Trek Izzet Keribar writes:

I started photography in the mid 50's, first great experience in Korea after the war, restarted seriously after 1980. After countless slide shows and personal exhibitions and some flashy international prizes since, I decided to go fully professional in 1998. I love to travel, and to take pictures, I did not lose the joy of photography after becoming pro. I lecture students, organize workshops since 10 years, and keep an office with a very large photo bank.

Now after two months with TE, I realize once more that we all have a lot to learn from others techniques, framings, composition, use of light, imagination and creativity. I appreciate comments, and also try to give a few useful thoughts in critiques.
Cheers to all ! - Izzet Keribar
