Photographic Foundation (Galata - Istanbul)

The "Photographer Children's Workshop" was founded after the Marmara Earthquake of  17th August 1999, as part of the rehabilitation work carried out by the Association of Volunteers for Solidarity. The idea of a Photography Foundation arose during the “Photographer Children" project, carried out with voluntary work. The Foundation was officially founded in 2004.



The Photographic Foundation aims to develop the photographic art in Turkey and to popularize the photographic production with priority given to children and young people. Its goals are the dissemination of photographic values produced in Turkey abroad; strengthen the solidarity and cooperation among photo artists; to convey the photographic products to public and supporting cultural and artistic activities.
