Ara Güler (16 August 1928 – 17 October 2018) was an Armenian-Turkish photojournalist, nicknamed “the Eye of Istanbul”; he is also known as “the Photographer of Istanbul”. His pictures from 1940’s to 1980’s of Istanbul are priceless treasures of the city established on both sides of Bosphorus.

Güler described himself always as a “visual historian” because he was attached the greatest importance to human presence in his photographs. “When I’m taking a picture of Hagia Sofia, what counts is the person passing by who stands for life”, he said. He believed that photography should provide a memory of people, of their lives and especially their sufferings. While he considers that art lies, he believes that photography can only reflect reality. He embraced the identity of a photojournalist, because he did not attach much value to photography as an artistic pursuit, which to him would have little value. He did not consider photography to be an art. So he was the true witness of his time.

Güler’s archive contains some 800,000 photographic slides; and his website araguler.com.tr gives valuable information about the artist and his works.
