Portrait nominee

These series of pictures are a combination of warmness and beautiful colors as in my country and at the same breath there's also inner sadness in the eyes of a little Israeli girl. a girl whom was born to a reality of wars and tension in her country. she is holding a young dear whom represents also youth, beauty and grace, love and innocence same as she is. also the dear symbols the connection to stable and fertile land.
a little girl who yearned for peace.

I was born in Israel, in the city of Herzeliya and was raised by a perfect, loving family. My friends and family always told me I was living in my own world. I always saw everything through a private "pink" filter that was attached to the lens of my eyes. My imagination had no limits. I loved to float and fantasize of a magical, romantic and a fairy tail like life. I believe that the camera was the only thing that enabled me to still enjoy this "fantasy" world I loved, as a teenager and an adult.
 
After serving in the Israeli Airforce, at the age of twenty, I naturally found myself involved in still photography and photography in the movie industry, in Israel and abroad. Gradually, movies became an inseparable part of my life. The more I got involoved the more I felt I found my calling in life. My love to the camera got me to study Photography at the Technion school of Photography in Israel. 
 
I feel that the combination of still photography, show business and my personality, helps me create a beautiful story behind each photo I shoot.
