Erhan Coral (b. Istanbul) is an award-winning and published photographer whose work explores the intersections of humanity, urban landscapes, and cultural traditions. His practice spans street, travel, and documentary photography, with projects that move between the vibrancy of global metropolises and the stillness of remote geographies.
Coral has presented three solo exhibitions in Istanbul: Alone in the City (2022), Metropolis Chronicles (2024), and Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere (2025). He has also participated in group exhibitions across Europe. His work has been recognized by institutions such as the Sony World Photography Awards, Travel Photographer of the Year, Smithsonian Magazine, and Prix de la Photographie Paris.
Published internationally and exhibited widely, Coral’s photographs are defined by a cinematic use of light, minimalist yet powerful composition, and a deep attentiveness to the resilience and rituals of everyday life. Based in Istanbul, he continues to create long-term visual narratives across Turkey and beyond, with projects in Cuba, Ethiopia, Mongolia, Vietnam, and Europe.
