Abstract
Photography has a history that dates back to prehistoric times when people drew and scraped
cave walls with clay paints to share, tell or remember what they saw and experienced with others.
The first truly photograph in history is the heliography made by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1827
and it’s been in our lives for over 190 years. Photography started in our country shortly after the first
photograph, starting from the 1850s.
Abdulhamid II said that the photo tells us more than the hundreds of pages of reports.
Approximately 800 photo albums remained from him and they are exhibited in the library of Istanbul
University.
Photography associations in Turkey started with the establishment of the Turkish Amateur
Photography Club (TAFK) in Ankara in 1950. The TAFK aims to encourage photography and film
production in Turkey and to prepare opportunities for growing up and maturing for its enthusiasts.
While abroad, he aimed to promote Turkey and Turkish photography. There are more than a hundred
photographic societies in Turkey. In Giresun province, there are two photographic societies named
Giresun Photographic Art Association (GIFOD) founded in 2001 and Giresun Traveler
Photographers Association (GEZFOD) founded in 2011. These two photographic associations work
to increase the promotion and attractiveness of the province through their activities. In this study, the
activities of GEZFOD were examined and their contribution to the tourism attractiveness and
promotion of the region was evaluated. In this context, photography activities organized by GEZFOD
were investigated and interviews were conducted with association officials. The contribution of their
activities to the tourism attractiveness of Giresun province was examined. GEZFOD has organized
five photo marathons to date. Thanks to these photo marathons, hundreds of national and
international nature-friendly photographers came to Giresun. GEZFOD photographed the most
beautiful places and met thousands of followers. GEZFOD; municipalities, The 42th Chamber of
