The Girlfriends of Fallen soldiers

a magazine story I shot illustrations for: 

The Girlfriends of Fallen soldiers - what is their social and economical status ? 

I shot the images on 2 different locations, using one small strobe on a tripod and 

balancing it with the ambient light to create a dramatic yet soft scene.

a light meter in you phone ?

I like the iphone lighter meter app, although I, off course have a real one
(that's also fitted for flash metering)
still, its a good idea, since I  with my iPad where ever I go ...

My Photo installation in the art event "Arim Tehomot" in Jaffa, Tel Aviv

An Alternative art event that took place on Saturday march 24th in Jaffa, Tel Aviv.
I presented a composited picture that was shot on Black and white Film and later composed in Photoshop.

Also, did a "slow Portrait" street Studio using available light and shooting on a 6 by 7 Mamiya RB67

 The Slow Portrait

In my personal work I aim to slow down. 

As a working photographer I have a personal need to balance the super fast pace of the image taking process with a more traditional way. 

For that purpose I use various Film cameras, preferably Medium format. It forces me to measure, aim, re-compose and do a lot of thinking before pressing the camera trigger. 

The resulting images have a different ambiance, different intention and a lot more intangible feel to them. 

In this Project I want to bring the process of slowing down to the street. Involve and share this experience with the passing by. I want to take pictures of people without the constant and instant judgment of the results, which will be shown only after a while. 

I will pose them in front of a white canvas and in the tradition of the great masters, try to get something pure and authentic out of them. 

The process is the act, the photography as a sort of live performance perhaps.
