I presume you mean a GEOTiff file, not just a TIFF file.
You can presumably pull the information you need out of
the GeoTiff file itself. Here is an example written for
a slightly different reason that will give you some idea
of how to go about this:

I have the same problem and I tried to follow the example mentioned
before but unfortunately the informations I have are different:
GeoTiff image Structure
** Structure <9d0b28c>, 6 tags, length=140, data length=138, refs=1:
MODELTRANSFORMATIONTAG
DOUBLE Array[4, 4]
GTMODELTYPEGEOKEY
INT 2
GTRASTERTYPEGEOKEY
INT 1
GEOGRAPHICTYPEGEOKEY
INT 4326
GEOGLINEARUNITSGEOKEY
INT 9001
GEOGANGULARUNITSGEOKEY
INT 9102

In this case are there any possibilities to obtain latitude and
longitude of each point of the GEOtiff image??
Thank you
