I recommend buying the "Istanbul" book with the liner notes by Orhan Pamuk, that is curated and contains great snaps.
Ah the writer? Should be great

Nice! Someone told me it reminded him of the photos of Andreas Schinas or Constantine Manos in Greece. Is it the only monograph that has a theme Instanbul? Do you know of any modern Turkish photographers that do this kind of photography? By saying that kind of photography I mean approaching the people, the streets, and the corners of the city with dignity and excitement which some might call "old-fashioned" photography (which is by chance my favorite type of photography)
Yeah and as you said another time again nice works usually don't need to be explained. Anyway didn't mean to sound arrogant again all the photographs are nice just some stood out for me immediately.
I am pretty sure you said something similar when you were doing a small manifest on how difficult is to take a good photograph
I am at a loss, unfortunately. BTW not sure if he identified as "Turkish".
But the book, you will not regret it.

Ah yes Turkish with Armenian heritage. Thanks for the suggestion will try to get it
I think it is also available in French. Amazon has it.

Turkish by passport, yes.
I really like Ara Güler's work, my late wife had met him quite a few times through her work.
However, I think what I find disappointing is he was not using the best films available at the time, so I'm (maybe) over subjective, but it's noticeable in comparisons..
I won't take the thread too Political.
Here in the UK, I can claim my Scottish Heritage, but my wife objected to her Turkish ID card stating a religion, one she hated, because that was/is the default.
Güler was of Armenian descent, I know from talking to my late mother-in-law (born in 1923) that her childhood was extremely difficult. She could not use her Greek name at school or in public, or use the Greek language in public. It was far worse for Armenians.
I will dig out mu Güler book tomorrow and have another look.

A good photographer is one that doesn't let anyone see his stinkers.
