Steve Gates

Steve Gates is a British Photographer living and working in Gemlik, Turkey. He captures the overlooked moments of the ordinary that slip into the forgotten and unconscious of the everyday. His work sits somewhere between the great urban photographers like Henri Cartier-Breesson, Garry Winogrand or Thomas Struth but comparisons are not easily fixed, there could be many. He highlights the vulnerabilities and fragility of existence taken for granted and the moments of respite and quiet reflection that punctuate daily life. As the outsider he allows us the privilege to inhabitat his world, the world of silent voyeur.
