My name is Dominique Misrahi, I was born and raised in Marseille, France until out of a midlife crisis I decided 20 years ago to move to NY where I still reside now.
My background is in dance and fitness. I taught for many years until I had my children.
I always loved photography since a very young age and it’s only been 3 years that I really started to take it more seriously.
I studied with Bruce Gilden, Jamel Shabbaz, Richard Renaldi and attended a few classes at ICP. I was part of all the exhibits around the word with the women street photographers curated by Gulnara Samoilova. She has been since a mentor and an amazing influence and support.
About The Collection
It all started with a Bruce Gilden assignment, he sent me out to take vertical portraits and I think I found my call. I am a people person and I have no problem to talk to strangers in the streets. I want to show beauty in diversity and real life. Each face tells a story, let s leave the imagination.
