A Smile Over the Shoulder
A smiling young monk turns toward the viewer while a group of children in crimson and saffron robes moves through a stone setting. The photograph balances an intimate off-center expression with layered figures, fabric folds, and strong diagonals, while presentation on glass gives the colors a crisp, luminous presence. Warm and immediate, it creates a human-centered focal point for a living room, hallway, or office.

Based in Israel, I am a Doctor of Physiotherapy by profession and a self-taught photographer with over 30 years of experience behind the camera. Photography is my way of observing what surrounds me, capturing scenes all over the globe and finding perspectives that might otherwise go unnoticed. My work spans many cultures, street life, nature, landscapes, animals and engineering processes, driven by a curiosity about the world and the stories it holds. Whether walking through a city, hiking in nature, or taking to the air on a motorised parachute, I look for the frame that captures something unique: a defining moment, an unexpected perspective, or an emotion that speaks without words. For me, photography is less about creating an image and more about discovering one: a way to preserve moments, reveal details and share how I see the world.
