About

I was born and raised in the Arava Valley, between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea—a landscape that shaped the way I see the world. As a young teenager, I wandered into the desert with a film camera, capturing its silence, light, and vastness.

My journey later led me beneath the surface. I discovered underwater photography and spent years traveling the world, documenting marine life—from sharks and whales to dolphins and intricate macro ecosystems. The ocean became both subject and teacher.

Over the past 15 years, my focus has returned to land. I've explored landscapes and wildlife across continents—photographing wolves in the desert, deer in open ranges, and the quiet presence of animals in their natural environments.

My work has been featured on leading platforms, including Channel 12 News in Israel, Ynet News, National Geographic Magazine, and others.

Today, my work takes me across Africa, North America, and beyond, continuing a lifelong pursuit: to capture the beauty, power, and fleeting moments of the natural world.
