About The Collection

The collection in front of you contains some topics that I work on.
Street photography in general. Animal photography in the urban space and surrealistic documentation of life in the Mea Shearim.
The basis for all my work and common to all these subjects I dealt with in photography is catching the surreal moment and the absurd of human life.
At the moment I have no preference for a particular photography technique and I shoot according to the situation. I usually shoot in high contrasts of light and shadow and sometimes I prefer to use flash and sometimes just shoot.
