Stillness does not equal peace. In Melancholia, Burak Bulut Yildirim explores the tender weight of emotional stagnation—the quiet sadness that lingers in private rooms, unspoken thoughts, and soft morning light. These images are neither dramatic nor tragic, but gently aching.
Shot in bedrooms, on gray walls, near windows veiled in sheer curtains, the figures in this series do not perform. They retreat, fold inward, lower their gaze. There is no spectacle here—only presence. The light is pale, the palette muted. Each image feels like the memory of a thought, a quiet question left unanswered. The emotional DNA of this series echoes the isolation in Edward Hopper's urban scenes, the introspection of Rinko Kawauchi's domestic quiet, and the poetic waiting of Tarkovsky's interiors. These aren't sad images—they are full of feeling suspended.
Some bodies grip coffee cups like anchors. Others curl in bed as though time had paused. The poses are slight but heavy, and the camera stays still, giving breath to the scene. For over 20 years, Burak has returned to this kind of image again and again—not as escape, but as study. Melancholia is not depression—it is a pause in motion. And in that pause, something luminous emerges. These limited edition works offer collectors a portrait of emotional nuance, of lives lived between light and languor.
Limited Edition of 5 prints.
Printed on museum-quality, archival Hahnemühle Fine Art paper, each artwork is meticulously proofed, inspected, and carefully packaged rolled in a protective tube. Every print includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist, certifying its limited edition status.

Presentation
Burak Bulut Yıldırım
Berlin, Germany • Photographer
From the heart of Berlin, I shape light and shadow into images that breathe.
For 19 years, I have explored the fleeting, the intangible—a pursuit that began in art journalism and evolved into a lifelong devotion to photography. In 2005, I founded my first studio. Since then, my work has traveled across Europe, gracing galleries and shaping visual identities for global and local brands.
Dostoevsky wrote in , “Everything depends on the environment in which man lives." In a world oversaturated with images, we often feel lost in visual noise. Yet, light transforms. It gives meaning. A figure, a landscape—within seconds, they shift, becoming something entirely new.
For over 19 years, I have explored this transformation. I sculpt people with light, capturing their ever-changing forms through natural light, artificial systems, and UV. I work with both visible and invisible spectrums, using machines that record light to uncover something deeper—something beyond texture, color, and form.
My portraits are not just images; they are extensions of my own soul. In every session, my subject's presence collides with my vision, creating an unpredictable, living exchange. The result is emotion distilled into aesthetics, a visual language shaped by the poetry of light.
Photography is more than creation—it is a dialogue. Since 2019, Sony Europe has named me an Imaging Ambassador, reaffirming my dedication to this art. Beyond my own work, I share this passion through my photography school, where over 5,000 students have embarked on their own creative journeys.
Light remains my guide. Each click of the shutter is an attempt to capture the unseen, to reveal beauty in the mundane, to freeze a fleeting moment before it disappears.
