One unexpected angle can offer an entirely new perspective on something we think we know. Stockholm-based Senay Berhe (b. 1979) proves this to be true, encouraging us to reconsider our surroundings through graphical compositions. As he travels across the city, Berhe captures everything from bridges to tower blocks – with the setting sun bouncing off multi-storey buildings, or balconies and satellite dishes cast in shadow. These are everyday locations shown anew. In portraiture, Berhe demonstrates an equally considered approach to framing and lighting, whilst also emphasising the depths of human emotion. One shot plays with primary colours; a model – seemingly deep in thought – is positioned against a yellow backdrop, illuminated by red and blue. Others look downward in contemplation, or off beyond the frame. Berhe is an award-winning creative whose body of work encompasses digital campaigns, documentary, film and music video. senay.se | @senayberhe
