john_brewton Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks, Tolga. I had never heard of this guy before but his images are very striking and he certainly deserves all of the awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdnyc Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Beautiful work. I've been aware of him for some time, but this is an especially valuable link. While his results speak for themselves, anyone know if there is anything distinctive about his technique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_clark Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Has anybody got his book 'Hommage to Ara Güler' the 1998 version? I'd like to know what the quality of the printing is like if anyone can tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolga_anil Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hello All, If you need his books, I can find them. But I'm not sure can I find english version. He has got many books, especially Istanbul photos is famous in Turkey. I'll look his books and prices tomorrow. If you need contact me.

robert_clark Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks for the offer Tolga. I really like his classic Leica B&W pics from the 50's and 60's - the ones under 'Klassik' on the link you gave. I'm just concerned about the quality of reproduction and would only be interested in a well laid out monograph with top quality duotone prints. I don't like books where writing and images are printed on the same page - I like images to speak for themselves, apart, maybe from a short caption and date. I think 'Homage to Ara Güller' printed in 1998 is such a book, but I would like that confirmed if that is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
