Here is a wonderful documentary on Ara Guler: one of the prominent photographers of Istanbul who has recently passed away.
If you are interested in his work, pay a visit to his museum in Bomonti Ada in which you can see some of the most famous pieces of his Istanbul photos which have become iconic symbols of the city like the ones you see on this page. (Visit the website at https://aragulermuzesi.com/)
Also consider paying a visit to Ara Cafe in Beyoglu. The Cafe was originally established by Ara Guler and still lives on. The walls are covered by Ara’s iconic Istanbul photos. It is a refuge in the chaos of Istanbul. (visit https://www.instagram.com/arakafe/)
