“…If you tell the Truth, you don’t have to remember anything…”

Ho Chi Minn, Vietnam, February 2012

This picture was taken on my second day in Ho Chi Minn. I was just walking around Ben Thanh Market when I saw those two sitting across each other, having (as it looked like) a conversation. I’ve noticed the distance between the two stools and I wondered if it was really a conversation, an argument, maybe a game they were playing. Maybe even some sort of treatment or a game they were playing.

I didn’t want to come closer (even though I was very curious) as I didn’t want to interfere with their dynamics or change the balance. Sometimes, a photographer just need to capture a moment, and the rest is like ‘filling in the blanks’…

What do you think they were talking about?

 

Naomi Ben Shahar Apt in Design Sponge

March 25, 2013

It all happened very fast. I have just finished shooting my friend’s Naomi Ben Shahar’s beautiful apartment in Chelsea, when I suggested her that I submit some of the images to Design Sponge. The day after, I got an email back from Amy (the managing editor) who said she would LOVE to feature it in the next Sneak Peek column.

I just love Naomi’s apartment. Very clean lines, big windows, lots of light (good for a photographer’s apartment such as Naomi) and her Art is on the walls. Naomi writes a blog about New York, targeted for Hebrew speakers who come to visit. She knows everything about the city, and she knows almost everyone. Take a look at her blog here and here.

You can see and read more about Naomi and her design choices, in Design Sponge Sneak Peek here.

Thank you Amy and Grace!

Here are some of my favorite images from Naomi’s apartment.

The Life and Style of Karen Shavit

Karen Shavit, Design, Lifestyle, Israel

I love shooting Life style productions for magazines. Moreover, I like it even more when I’m shooting my friends and my friends’ homes to these kinds of productions.

My friend, Karen Shavit, who is wearing lots of creative hats – popular blogger, home-stylist, lifestyle entrepreneur and a mother of two, has agreed to open her new home she just moved into with her family and allowed me to shoot her beautiful and sunny kitchen. Her kitchen, which is the center of her home and a master piece by itself, is filled with vintage items and dishes she collected throughout the years.

The family was having a late Saturday brunch while I was humming around with my camera.

To learn more about Karen, you can visit her blog (in Hebrew) and her facebook page and scroll down to see the production in print.

At Magazine March Issue

March 12, 2013

For the last couple of months I wrote so much about Lisbon, which is starting to be one of my favorite cities I visit. I’ve visited Lisbon last February as I was writing an article about the city. I’ve discovered so many new locations, hotels, restaurants and nice boutiques and decided to share this information with my Israeli readers.

My recent article about Lisbon is now featured in At Magazine, a Fashion and Life style magazine in Israel. The article will be on an A3 format, especially for the Spring Holidays.

Architecture and Fashion in Tokyo; Featured in SisterMag;

March 6, 2013

For years I wanted to travel to Tokyo.

I was curious about Tokyo ever since I watched Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (at age 16). Years later when I watched Lost in Translation my curiosity to this place increased even more.

I finally made it to Tokyo last year in 2012.

I was there for only 72 hours to shoot two articles in a row. And even for a person like me, who lives in the midst of Manhattan for the last 11 years and always thought that New York has it all, after visiting Tokyo, I realized that I was wrong.

Tokyo, mind you, DOES have it all. Imagine New York City but on steroids. This was Tokyo for me.

I’ve always wanted to write about the correlation between Architecture and Haute Couture in Tokyo and how top world-wide architectures design these great buildings for the top world wide fashion designers. I’m so glad I finally got the chance to do it for Sister Magazine in their latest issue (no.6).

See the online magazine here  and flip through to page 68.
