portraits of yoga and meditation teaches in the Jerusalem mountains

portraits of teaches and students in a yoga course 

out in a village up in the Jerusalem mountains

they stayed there for a month, studying poses, theory and meditation

I came to create images of the day as well as some portraits for 

Publications. I loved the scenery, the light and the natural location.

Portraits of Robert Scheer, Author

Visited an old friend in The german city of Tuebingen, where there's a long tradition of Writers, poets and philosopher

The portraits came about, wondering the small town, enjoying the old architecture and quiet streets.
some ideas came for the next book, stories, images

photography is story telling in images

working men portrait

I like these portraits, because they were made on assignment, and still, it was a great opportunity to show real people, working, in real working environment. I think it somehow signifies my shift from working with models and extras to real people, adding a lot of realism and even some documentary layers to my work.

the ancient Napolean City of Acre

Acre (or Akko)was a strategic coastal link to the Levant. In crusader times it was known as St. John d'Acre after the Knights Hospitaller of St John order who had their headquarters there. Acre is the holiest city of the Bahá'í Faith

it has everything from an ancient harbour to local delicacies, 

old alleys and mosques and chilled cafes.

And of course, photo opportunities galore:

I worked with my 24-70mm Sigma Zoom 

and my wonderful 100mm Canon

which was fantastic with the food shots

all natural light of course
