On October 7, 1959, the Soviet Union sent Luna 3 around the moon and took the first photos of the far side. 18 of the photos were usable and they only covered about a third of the far surface.

Are there any photos of the dark side of the moon?

"Dark side of the moon" isn't actually dark. The more accurate term is "far side of the moon". Both sides of the moon receive an equal amount of sunlight, per month. There are indeed a lot of photos taken of the far side. The first-ever photo of the far side of the moon was captured by the Luna 3 probe in 1959. All Apollo missions from Apollo 11 to 17 passed behind the moon, and they took photos of the far side. The attached photo is from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
