About me
Born in 1972 in Israel. I’m a self taught, freelance photographer
I got into street photography in 2009 as I was looking for my voice in photography.
I am fascinated by the relationship and connections between people
and between people and their surroundings.
I make pictures by intuition, because I feel that I need to click the exposure button at
that exact time. I do not plan or stage my photos. I let life unfold before me,
I capture and present it as I see it and I bring my own unique perspective
of the everyday life.
I’m an observer of humanity and life, my role is to document the world I live in,
to tell its story from my point of view.
My hope is for my work to become a part of a global pool of documentations for future generations so they will be able to learn and understand the times I live in.
