I am a self taught photographer who began my photography
work on the fauna, strength, and great fragility of Africa. I chose
to use natural colours of the land to help me portray the animals in almost humanizing way, I plays on shadow, light and
contrast, to immortalize rare scenes of nature, constantly trying
to capture the magnificence of the animals behaviour and the
emotion of their look. I want to show the vividness of the animals that are more endangered than ever.
I realizes that through photos I can create a strong public
awareness about the importance of preserving and protecting
our wildlife.
I’m based in Israel, but spend most of my time in Africa. Most
of my photos emphasize attitudes and animals with almost
human looks. I do so by using frontal and close up shots to
highlight the animals character traits, as well as the intensity
of their gazes and the majesty of their postures. My work can
be seen in galleries around the world, magazines, wildlife and
landscape sites.
Whenever I succeed in capturing a frame, that feels like a
unique and special moment, it is then I know I have touched
the “divine” state called Art”...
