Derek Turhan (b. 1995 Baldwin, New York) is, among other things, a photographer. His formal study of political science and U.S. law deeply inform all parts of his photographic process. The work explores effervescent and fleeting moments, the onslaught of coarseness in modern American Life, and ways in which we (the) people go about it all in the meantime.

His fist zine, Fish hook (2026), is available for pre-order now. The 9×6” zine contains 72 black-and-white images developed by the artist. Contact for more information.
