Category: Photography

Salih Guler

Salih Guler’s art lives by the motto 'less is more' and believes that beauty exists in simple things. The artist focuses on origin and forms when he is producing.
Through his photography Salih tries to express his personal reality, by keeping very high standards in technical and aesthetic details and always including living things in his compositions. His photography is made of the least possible spots.
Salih's minimalism gives even more power to the images he captures; the dramatic contrast and movement in his photography make the subject come alive and look as though it is flowing through light.
The artist choses "beauty" to put forward in his artworks; he centres as the essence of life.
Parallel to his minimalistic approach in photography, the photographer does not prefer to say a lot about his works. He believes that the photography itself should say and depict everything.
His first personal exhibition was Dance of Light in 2004. His projects are Salt Lake in 2016, Backstage 2017, Project12 in 2018.

Jeremy Hunter


Over the past thirty-five years, the photographer has divided his media experience between television and photojournalism. He was top agent for US and UK news agencies as well as foreign correspondent for NIR-TV based in Tehran. He has been reporting extensively from around the world - the civil war in Lebanon, the first democratic elections in Portugal, the uprising in India and assassination of Indira Gandhi, and the coronation of the cannibal ‘Emperor’ Jean-Bedel Bokassa in the Central African Empire. He then became On-Screen News/Current Affairs Reporter for Granada TV from where he went to the BBC as writer/producer and then to Channel 4 “Cutting Edge”. This resulted in him gaining unprecedented access to the French Foreign Legion, and three films for national TV were produced from this material.
During this time, he has taken a special interest in documenting the world’s rituals, ceremonies and celebrations which has taken him to 70 countries across 5 continents. For his work, he has received three UNESCO awards. He is also a Fellow of Royal Geographical Society, London.
As a photojournalist, he contributes to The Telegraph Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph Magazine, The Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Bunte, Stern, Epoca, Food and Travel and many other travel-related publications. His definitive book ‘Sacred Festivals’ was selected as Book Club Association Choice and achieved 25,000 in UK hardback sales.

Erdal Kinaci

1966 born Erdal Kinaci started his artistic career with painting when he was a teenager. During the years at medical university his interest was more in photography and set up the first photography club of the university. Kınacı has been presented his artworks in 13 solo exhibitions and several collective exhibitions. Focusing mostly on people and nature, his photography captures compelling stories of life from the serious to the most humorous moments. The artist accepts the importance of the equipment, but he believes more in capturing right time on the right place with appropriate light. That is more essential and sufficient tool than equipment, he thinks. Kınacı does not consider rules in photography, on the contrary he thinks that photography changes its own rules rapidly with developments in technology and will continue to do so. He does not see the time he spends in the darkroom as a gain anymore. The artist has been awarded more than 400 times in national and international photography competitions including National Geographic International Photography Competition that his photography was awarded as world number one in human category in 2006. The photographer has been invited as a jury member to several international competitions. He resumes the connection between photography and himself, as: “I still have a big hunger to make better photography. I am becoming jealous when I see a good photography or meet a good photographer."

About us

Gallery profile


Horatius said that a picture is a poem without words. These words were said before photography.  We believe that he would have said the same for photography if photography had existed in those ages.  
Painting is to convey dreams to canvas, creation of something through interpretations, that does not exist or exists. Photography, on the other hand, is only a photograph if you do not touch its reality. Photography is the reality itself. Photography is to convey what you see in the most real form.
The Route Photography Gallery started its journey with this objective. Our motive is not only to exhibit the photographs, but also to depict and/or to narrate stories from all over the world.
Photography is what is conveyed to you from all over the world; It can be in a village of in a town which you have not known. It can be in shade of a tree. It can be in a portrait of a smiling child or in a portrait of a sad mother or in the dance of a young girl.
Our motive is to establish a meeting point for international photographers and emerging talents from different cultures who aim to narrate a story and/or a reality of life to art enthusiasts.
Our collection narrates stories from mountain villages of Vietnam, from exceptional mountains of Nepal, from fjords of Norway. It narrates culture of India, revolutions, and renewals in Europe, in Anatolia, in Mesopotamia… Story telling photography collection of the gallery depicts joy and pain on earth.
Photography, as of universal common language of art, conveys stories of life of some to others. The art enthusiast watching the artworks in our collection do not watch only a photography work, but they also read a poem, they listen to a story, they open the first page of a tale.
The Route Photography Gallery was founded by journalist and photographer Tahir Ozgur in Amsterdam in 2017. In the last two years, the gallery welcomed Jordi Artigas, one of the important artists of Spain with his strong and distinctive narrative style, as its sole painter.
The Gallery presents its collection to art enthusiasts/ collectors at international art fairs and on 3D virtual exhibitions as well as in the gallery in Amsterdam and online.
