Alphan Yilmazmaden arslanalp is a photographer whom I would call 'theatrical'. His shots are "genuine" representations, but in him I see also a conceptual mind. In short, he is a great street photographer, who blends together various aspects while maintaining his own unique style.

1- I don't ask this question: How does black and white vs. color play into your work? because I have already read your answer (AY: I like to use both of them, in certain cases color is a main actor. In other cases B&W is more effective in transferring the main idea of the photo), and I think you often apply this distinction, for example when you find the light spots like in this picture: dot) but actually analyzing your journey here on DA I have noticed how your research inside color has grown. I have interpreted it as a pictorial attempt on your part, almost as if you wanted to recall a dreamlike world through colors; as if at certain times reality needed to be ' discovered ' through your eyes. What do you say?  

1. "I have interpreted it as a pictorial attempt on your part, almost as if you wanted to recall a dreamlike world through colors; as if at certain times reality needed to be ' discovered ' through your eyes".

I can not express myself better than this.

2- I have noticed that often light is the protagonist of your shots. As if you stabbed the image with light. What is the difference in the use of light in color and in b/w?

2. When I am shooting I am in the pursuit of a "good light" for a good photograph. It offers me more options about to keep my photo more undercontrol.

If I found the light then I start to look for subjects, backgrounds,shadows and colors and of course relations between eachother of these components. I am aware color photography is much more difficult than B&W since you have try to control (much)more variants.

In this respect if light is not offering too much I start to think B&W. In this case I shoot B&W. But since I shoot RAW , I can check any time B&W or color version if I missed something.

3-many photographers depict Istanbul in black and white, as if your city is hardly represented by color, how do you explain it?

3. Istanbul almost from the begining is a crowded, mysterious and chaoitc city. Color photography arrived realtively late to Turkey comparing the other Europan countries so most of the distributed good photos were B&W I believe. And this helped to keep the mystery. Perhaps photographers think to photograph in color may come reveal the mystery.

Or color photography is a real challange fo Istanbul.

In this respect , thank to Alex Webb  and Bruno Barbey for showing color photography of this city is also beatiful.

and now here are the same questions I've asked Khuram:

4- Do you agree with this statement?

“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!”  – Ted Grant

4. Well , of course but (there is a small but) this may not fully applicaple for "street portraits"

5- Someone thinks that through certain colors we communicate certain emotions. when you shot do you think of this?

I noticed a prevalence of red in your images...

5. Yes, I agree colors may ignite or represent certain emotions. I like to use some bright colors to intive and try show more.

Red: love,passion and hate thats what I have
