Having lived for five years in San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge is one of Ali Erturk's favourite subjects. Now the most famous monument in San Francisco, it features among the longest bridges in the world. Although it is clearly recognisable with its international orange colour, it nonetheless seems to vary over time. Captured at dawn or just after, Ali Erturk's photographs rise to the challenge of revealing the monument's architecture in its various dimensions, through plays of light and very intense colour contrasts. Equally as spectacular are his many photographs taken at sunrise, when the emblematic skyline of San Francisco is still shrouded in the morning mist. Almost entirely covered by a turbulent mantle of clouds, the city thus presents rare and ethereal landscapes to the eye.
