He was "one of Turkey's few internationally known photographers". Güler attached the greatest importance to human presence in his photographs and described himself as a "visual historian". "When I'm taking a picture of Aya Sofia, what counts is the person passing by who stands for life", he said. He believed that photography should provide a memory of people, of their lives and especially their suffering. While he considers that art lies, he believes that photography can only reflect reality. He embraced the identity of a photojournalist[13] because he did not attach much value to photography as an artistic pursuit, which to him would have little value. He did not consider photography to be an art.
