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.

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.
