Magnum Photo announced that their long time member, Turkish photographer Ara Güler died on Wednesday, October 17 in Istanbul. 

They write that “over his career Güler photographed a host of famous artists and political figures. Yet for many, it is his iconic, and at times melancholic black and white photographs of his hometown, it’s inhabitants, streets and it’s docks, which are his greatest work”. 

Susanne Fowler of the New York Times writes that Güler “was best known for capturing poignant and nostalgic images of a bygone Istanbul but he also portrayed famous figures and everyday life in far-flung lands.”

Among his many awards, Ara Güler was also a recipient of the Leica Hall of fame Award.
