This photo project has been designed on the relationship of time and water. I have taken these photos in Montreal. On reflection of the expression“Time passes just like water” Water is so powerful.it can sustain life and it can destroy. I used water to create a visual obstacle between the viewer and subject. In addition to the way the water bends and warps the scenes, I also wanted to create a visual effect of the fluidity of time within my photographs.

Biography

Ali IHTIYAR, Canadian photographer and film maker born and based in Turkey He received a Master?s in Fine Arts, Film & TV Production from Marmara University (Istanbul). His experiences in photography have shaped Ali?s perspective in film, where slow camera movements with little dialogue reflect man?s isolation and alienation from his environment. He is currently engaged in several projects in Quebec and Turkey, and cites Theo Angelopoulos and Andrei Tarkovsky as two of his favorite influences.
