Yaal, Localgrapher in Jerusalem

Style:

Traditional portraiture, love to combine movement and posture in an abstract natural settings. I often use medium format cameras, analogue film and studio lighting on location.

Likes:

I am an avid hiker and camper. Love to go on multiple days hiking trips, bonefire, guitar, poyke pot: the trillion star hotel. I love birds.. only to observe them. I used to work as a tour guide (still running photography tours from time to time) and I am very interested in local history, geography and all sorts of adventure stories.

Recommended places:

Jerusalem is one of the world’s oldest cities, it had a diverse population, an array of religious disciplines and it sites on the stitch between eastern and western civilizations. The Kardo (= heart) was the main street of the ancient old city, it has great natural light for portraits and an engaging story to tell. The ramparts walk offers scenery of the entire old city and its surrounding ind it is a wonderful location for a photoshoot in the morning and evening light. Yamin Moshe (where my gallery is located) – the first neighbourhood outside the walls looks like a poetic hundred years old village, especially its garden of the seven species.
