With a sense of dramatic theatre, Burak’s finest photographs tend to be his depictions of nudes in urban settings such as interiors and architecture. His figures stand confident on the open street, on a public balcony, or through a revealed window, unashamed and unafraid of their natural form. Whether interacting with keyboards and computers, clotheslines, or fabric, each model conveys unique characteristics conveyed through their complex body language. The emotional reactions of the figures communicate boredom, excitement, sensuality, confidence, and jubilee but never over-exposure. The comfort of these ‘figurative landscapes’ reveals the beauty of the female form with various subject matter which accentuates her purpose and guidance. The work may be erotic, but there seems to be a sense to accentuate the aesthetics of sensuality, rather than turn the subject into revealing grotesque impulses or vulgarity. 

Bella Donna VI (pictured above) remains one of Burak’s finest photographs. The angle for which the model stands, along with the angular composition, flows seamlessly with the clothes-linings and the open street. Her eyes are squinted in a sense of serenity and her arms are braced in a dramatic expression of solace. A fine photograph which exemplifies how the bodily form can be used to convey notions of oneness with the model’s surroundings.

Pixie (pictured above) portrays a woman in a nightgown looking over her shoulder in a peculiar fashion as if someone has just entered the room. Someone unexpected based on her facial features and subtle sense of surprise. She sits idly by a window sill trying to enjoy a cigarette only to appear to be disturbed in her moment of solitude. The scene conveys a sense of interruption from silence and contemplation based on subtle body language and an environment of comfort. Almost the entire composition remains covered in shadows as the dark room conveys a sense wanting to be removed from others. 

The photography focuses on nude figures ranging from close up shots to theatrical wide angles with women interacting with interior environments. The soft yet dramatic lighting and filters used in the photography makes some of the images appear like a painting, such as Hotel Room (top of article).  Burak captures specific delicate environments which enhance the characters of his figures such as using rooms with large windows or spacious areas with high ceilings, creating a sense of negative space. 

Burak Bulut Yildirim creates sensual photography which exemplifies turning the risqué into the avant-garde through clever depictions of models integrating their natural form with various conceptual environments. His photography builds a sense of character by revealing the authentic nature of his models through dramatic posture and integrated surroundings. Through various techniques and revolving settings, these dramatic photographs take a life of their own as they express sensuality beyond traditional connotations. Burak’s works contemplate and manifest the purpose of organic structure beyond limitations of straight depictions by bringing out the distinct character of his models through suggestive interactions with their environments and themselves. A profoundly nuanced artist, Burak guides the viewer through his lens of altering the nude form beyond literal connotations and into metaphor, narrative, and revealing confidence, expression, and liberation.

Ranging from sensual to erotic, the women are portrayed comfortably in their natural form within the photography. Various interactions with environments in the works seem to convey a concept, such as a woman laying down in a bathtub full of red wine. The photograph communicates unusual sensuality combining the historic juice of revelry, debauchery, and refinement with a nude female. Burak’s most recent works convey portions of female body parts with extreme high contrast and in fusion with texture, however his works showing full female figures in interiors convey a sense of psychological and theatrical strategy towards understanding the relationship between figures and space.
