"Photography is the catalyst that ignites the spark of creative imagination, while the camera becomes the tool that transforms dreams into works of art."

Felix Lupa

A skilled camera holder, a heavy user of imagination, and a professional daydreamer, weaving dreams into visual masterpieces.

Born on March 1st, 1972, in the former Soviet Union, I am a second-generation photographer with a lifelong passion for capturing meaningful moments. With over 25 years of experience as a freelance photographer, I have established myself as a respected figure in the industry, particularly renowned for my work with Israel's leading newspapers.

Throughout my career, I have actively engaged in long-term social projects for various magazines and television networks. These projects have allowed me to delve deep into the heart of society, shedding light on important stories and capturing the essence of human experiences. The power of reportage, documentary, and street photography has been my primary focus, enabling me to create visual narratives that provoke emotions and encourage dialogue.

My dedication to photography has been recognized through numerous local and international exhibitions. By showcasing my work in these settings, I have had the privilege of sharing my unique perspective and engaging with diverse audiences. It is my belief that photography is not merely a form of art, but a powerful medium through which the complexities of life are conveyed.

Philosophy

Recently decided to focus exclusively on street photography, aiming to serve as the "public eye" in conveying the wisdom of the streets. Street photography, with its multifaceted and complex messages, allows for the powerful transmission of the intense emotions experienced during decisive moments of street and human life. Viewing and connecting with human situations is a fundamental instinct, akin to breathing, and as a photographer, I use my lens as a medium to express my unique perspective.

As a professional photographer, I am deeply committed to capturing the essence of the streets and conveying the wisdom they hold. Through my work, I strive to connect with viewers on a profound level, enabling them to experience the raw emotions and decisive moments that define human life. My passion for street photography, combined with years of experience and a relentless pursuit of excellence, sets me apart as an artist who is dedicated to communicating powerful messages through the public eye.
