ARA GULER MUSEUM - MASTER OF LEICA

avatar
(Edited)

HELLO EVERYONE !

The other day, my wife and I stumbled upon a museum during our visit and a particular article on Ara Guler caught my eye. Back when I was a graphic design student in Istanbul in 2015, I learned a lot about him. Intrigued, I wanted to see what was inside the museum. But first, let me give you some information about Ara Güler.
Ara Güler was born in Istanbul on August 16, 1928. While he started journalism in Yeni Istanbul Newspaper in 1950, he also attended Istanbul University Faculty of Economics. - took on the duties of the correspondent. In 1954, he started to work as the head of the photography department in Hayat Magazine.
In 1953, the "Photography Annual Anthology" identified him as one of the 7 best photographers in the world.

If you want more detailed information, I leave a link below.

The museum had a small entrance and only 2 people were working inside, we asked the staff if we could go inside, even though there was a museum on the door :)

    Although Ara Güler prefers to take black-and-white photos, most of the images here are in color, and most of his award-winning photos are in black and white.

"Has been described as" ;
Ara GÜLER's second Istanbul book, this time, consists of colorful photographs. The photographs do not lie and describe life as it is. These photographs are the life of a city for those who can see.


Ara Güler loved to take pictures of the Bosphorus, the estuary, and the people living there.

Now I want to show you some of the photos I took close up, you can look at them in more detail because most of the photos I've shared so far have been shot from afar or small photos.

Look at the difference in the quality of the photo my wife and I took, she is far better but I'm still learning ;) "She took the photo above"
