I am 32 years old, originally from Haifa, nowadays from Tel Aviv.
I specialize in photographing people, especially at concerts, parties and small events, lectures and conferences.
I've always been into body image and self-love, and I realized that if I have a calling in life – it's to make people love themselves as they are and bring out their most amazing self – just as they dream to be seen.
Like stars.
Let's start from the beginning – already at the age of 16 I found myself photographing everyone around me at every possible moment. At the age of 18 I got my first DSLR camera for my birthday – a Nikon D90 with a kit lens 18-105 which I used for years.
My first job ever was shooting parties. I would go to the clubs in Haifa and in exchange for 100 NIS for an evening and drink in the club I would take pictures every Friday night (and I wouldn't even drink at at the time…)
This was the situation until after my military service, and then when Instagram came in and everyone became photographers, something in me got tired of photography and I left my camera aside. I went to study media and marketing, thinking it was close enough. I also left the degree after a year and haven't quite found my purpose for a few years.
While Covid was going on I had some kind of turning point, when for the first time since I moved to Tel Aviv I stopped for a moment. I found myself doing a lot of courses, from nutrition and coaching to WordPress and marketing. Everything interests me but nothing caught my attention.
Somehere at the end of the last lockdown, I remember there was only one thing that really interested me and that was – when will be able to go to a concert here??!
Before the epidemic, I would travel a lot to concerts and festivals abroad (shoutout to my bestie, it's all thanks to her!) and somewhere in 2022 I first had this idea, that if there is something I love so much, maybe I can turn it into a job? (In other words, how can I start enter the shows for free)
Or even.. that they will pay me for it?
Soon enought I decided to refresh my knowledge and went to a basics photography course, and then directly to Alon Levin's concert photography course (another shoutout – highly recommend 👑). I got a lot of tools to get started, then I started coming to shows and concerts and taking pictures. I haven't stopped since.
It's been two years, I've experienced a lot, and I'm still learning every day.
Today I simply offer my service to any artist who wants to put himself in the center, get a real life copy of how his audience watches him, and keep these moments forever.
If I have to sum it up –
Music saved my life.
The first tattoo I ever did was at the age of 28 and it was of a song by the first band I listened to at the age of 13 – Simple Plan. This is a song that composed of words that fans wrote them, about how their songs saved their lives. That's how I always felt. And although musicality has never been my best side, I always felt that I did want my life to be touched by music in some way. At about the age of 30, I realized how I could do it. Better late than never…
Today I invite you to take part in my journey, and let me be part of yours – and with the help of my real and deep connection to music and the stage world, get the most out of your special evening.
If you were able to relate and liked my work,
If you have a show/event/party
Or any other vision you want to bring to life,
Or genuinely if you just want to talk and ask –
