"The hardest thing in photography is seeing," stresses Djan Seylan, whose fourth book, On My Own, brings together 127 black-and-white photographs made between 1957 and 2016. From Turkey, his father's land, to Burma, from Sardinia to Madagascar, or Iran, Egypt, Greece, Portugal, Haiti, Cuba, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Ceylon and India, Seylan draws us into a world without convoluted compositions, rich in "authentic moments". A testimony to a discreet passion, On My Own also shows how, over the course of his travels with his Leica, Seylan has cultivated a very personal art of looking, in which the unexpected and "the intensity of corrosive emotions" dominate.
