One of the best things i learned in the military services was photography. I came into the army with a background in photography, but only at the beginning of the military service i had a professional training. When i see the works deal with the issue of the israeli-palestinian conflict, or any other political topic, i think it does not matter which side you choose, what political opinion, we have but to look at the photo as a work of art that contains so much human suffering and the need for a better future that exists on both sides. This november’s magazine, we exhibit top photographers, showcasing fashion, journalism, landscapes and art photography.. I wish you pleasant reading and enjoying the art. All photos are for sale and we will be happy to help you with any question and indecision. A great sentence i heard yesterday: CATCH LIFE AS IT FLOWS.

Maya Oren, Photographer and ArtistBorn in 1981, and currently living in Tel Aviv, Israel.“When I close my eyes, I dream, imagine, and ponder. Ever since I was a little girl I would always explore the world, ask questions, observe, learn, feel, and connect. My mother tells the known story of how when I was one year old, I would stand up in my crib so that I could oversee everyone around me in the room. Since I was so curious and didn’t want to miss even one moment, I would end up falling asleep standing up, face smashed into the bars of the crib. Even today, I can never miss a precious moment. I love sitting around a coffee shop gazing at people passing by and envisioning their lives. Are they joyful? Sad? Optimists? Careless? Waiting for life to pass by? Or maybe they are gentle souls and hopeful romantics like me? Asking a Gemini like myself to choose one passion in life is like asking a little girl to choose her favorite toy or flavor of ice cream. Therefore, I chose to not choose.I create, dance, write, play piano and flute, and of course capture ingenuous and simple moments. When creating art, be it a poem,

a story or a portrait, I receive my inspiration from observing people, listening to their soul sing, looking through their eyes into their hearts, accepting and honoring life, and glorifying nature, god’s creation. As much as people move and excite me, my heart and soul soar when I am one with nature. I believe that the most beautiful and moving photographs and art are created when capturing the moment, the emotional response of a person or of the sun as it sets and goes to sleep in the distant horizon. Being behind the camera allows me to become invisible and capture candid moments. A single second never repeats itself. It opens an unexplored world, an exciting undiscovered story or fairytale; and it is a means to find and satisfy my place of curious self-expression. The art I create is far more than a single click and one photograph; Through my interpretation of those magical moments, using my perspective and personal conquest to empower and to preserve life, my aim is to move my audience, stimulate them, make them forgo physical reality and fly into an abstract and vibrant dream.”

I was born in 1948 in london in stamford hill in london and later my family moved to hendon. I studied at the william ellis grammar school inHighate and left england in 1967 for israel where i have been livingEver since.

What do i photograph?I can answer that easier by stating what don’t i photograph, no flowers, animals, travel scenes, sunsets.Etc. I am always on the lookout for theBeauty and form in the everyday objects that surround us, in our homes, in the street, and sometimes right under our noses.The alphabet series was an attempt to combine a purely visual approachWith something surprising as well, trying to photograph the seeminglyObvious in a totally undiscovered way, to present the viewer with a visual quiz.I think that is my purpose when i go out to photograph, to try andPresent an image of an ordinary scene in a way that no one has seenUntil that moment. There is nothing that has not been photographedBefore and it is the constant challenge of the photographer to give a new visual meaning to the seemingly trivial and ordinary. (At least for me). Everybody looks but very few can see.

Aino Shperber (age 41).

I got my first ”real” camera from my dad when I was about fourteen. A Pentax. Bought it in a secondhand store in Dakar, Senegal, at the bottom of the hill, in the corner store not far from the marked. I loved it. He taught me how to set the exposure and I began to experiment. My favorite shot was a close up of a hibiscus in my parent›s garden. I was taught to develop film by Mister T. in the dark room down the hall. I wish I could go back to those times.

I am born in Norway 41 years ago, but have lived on three continents and lived in seven countries.

I have settled in Gedera, Israel with my lovely family, a husband, two kids and two dogs. During the day I work as a pathologist, but at night and in the weekends I play as a hobbyist photographer.

My real photography education started when my son was born. Digital photography was born at about the same time. Then I discovered Photoshop and my life changed. Forever.

I am a self taught hobbyist photographer. I love my cameras, my gear, computers and Photoshop. It’s my world. I love learning new photography techniques, experimenting. More than that I love looking for the right light, the right angle, the right moment.

..... the moment that laughs.....That’s me.

AINO SHPERBER

“It starts with my camera in hand. It ends with my digital dark room. And then i smile”


My gear:

I am a Nikon girl. My first Nikon was a Nikon D50, later I upgraded to Nikon D90 and later D800. Now I shoot Nikon D4s and Nikon Df. I have, according to my husband, too many lenses. But I love them all. And he must love me because he willingly supplies my gear lust. ;)

I edit with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CC. I also occasionally use OnOne PhotoSuite Pro and Alienskin Exposure.

I continually fill my need for education via Creative Live, Craftsy, Flickr and 500px. And books. Lots of books.

Aino Shperber


My love for the outdoors began at an early age. As a child, i enjoyed looking at mountain pictures for hours at a time. A few years passed till i finally got to my childhood fantasy - landscapes.At 18 i spent a few weeks walking in the alps and dolomites in northern italy, where i first started photographing. The mountains left a big impression on me and became my main source of inspiration.

Through photography i try to share the beauty of wilderness with others and to make people realize it is our duty to preserve nature for future generations.

The first time i experienced it, i was a kid .The euphoria passes through my body and brings me once again to hold the camera. That feeling is what i would like to move on to the observer. At 15 years of age, my father gave me his old pentax camera. He developed the films, the images were mainly of sky and clouds. I appreciated the power of the scene. Power expressed in the syntax of the aesthetic elements. I find much interest in the details of the whole and its implications in the space, beyond the subject marks.

My work is characterized by technical components and the digital processing that allows to ‹stretch› the camera›s abilities thus getting more realistic images and less photographic and often hyper- realistic ones.With more research of the medium i realized that there are meanings to a choice made in the process and therefore as an artist i have the duty to ask questions. Sometimes the photo is the answer, often it is a byproduct of the process, and other times it is the beginning of a new question.Photography allowed me access to art which i believe is a wide field where there is room for criticism - culturally, socially and personally.

“In front of the lens, I am at the same time: the one I think I am, the one I want others to think I am,

the one the photographer thinks I am, and the one he makes use of to exhibit his art.”

Roland Barthes.

Books“Frames of reality” - 2012


by Edward Kaprov

...ROUTE 60...“route 60” is the main artery of West Bank. Following an ancient path of the Patriarchs ,it connects past and present but hides truths and present realities. Creating an illusion of connectedness, it separates worlds that exist side by side. When these worlds do meet, it occurs under tragic circumstances.

WANDERING JEW Born in the Soviet Union, I came to Israel in the 1992. A year after my motherland, along with its Utopia, disappeared from the world maps and seized to exist. The communist values I grew up on became inapplicable and irrelevant, and it’s the reality turned into Anti-Utopia. At the time, the Idea of Zionism –The Jewish Sate in the land of Patriarchs, where Jews were able to build a full grown country, safe from Anti-Semitism, seemed like a perfect dream.I started the photographic project of Route 60 some years ago with a quest of finding the root cause of Israeli Palestinian conflict. However, the


project became my search for personal and national redemption amidst the impossible realities of violence, beauty and paths not taken.Working as an Israeli based photojournalist, I covered many spot events of the conflict. Yet it has not provided any answers. I went out on route 60 to find answers from people on both sides. Not interested in news style coverage, I avoided taking images of single events, taken out of their time line. My goal was to take a step above and penetrate the philosophical dimension of conflict’s reality.Wandering back and forth on “The Way of the Patriarchs”, my eyes learned about daily routine on the road . The visuals along the road concluded the fiction of both Ideas - Palestinian Authority and Israel. The mission of this project became to capture the Absurd, to counter the «bubble» realities in which my heroes live. The Utopia worlds on both sides, authors their own definitions and meanings for the land they inhabit.My camera piles the layers of ancient history, the Palestinian Liberation idea, Jewish Faith and idea of Zionism into single images.


Locked in the world of their truth, my protagonists reflect nostalgia of high Ideas, which deny real circumstances. The Idea of possible compromise exists in the realm of Logic but dwells as Utopia in the uncompromising reality. As I wonder through Road 60 metaphor, witnessing the jealous love to this Holly Land. I absorb that any solution would require painful re-rendering of “utopia” on both sides.


Ori Galon,Born in Tel Aviv, grew to know a city that truly never sleeps, called at that time “The White City “. Tel Aviv was a thriving center of art, architecture and theater.His first guided art gallery tour was at the age of 4, led by his mother, whose passion for art taught him to love and appreciate it himself in any shape and form.

By the age of 14 Ori left his parent›s home and headed to agriculture school to be close to Nature. It was at that adolescent age that he got his first reflex camera and began exploring the surroundings. Ori was learning painting, photography, sculpting, design, and video art, at a number of schools and workshops. It is without shame that he says he did not graduate from any of them. Life was the best school he ever had. Ori developed a photography method with a Polaroid camera while living in

London, England. It suits his passion to touch and feel the material that he works with, by manipulating the surface of a Polaroid film with his hands and some sculpting tools, until he gets the desired results.

In 1989 Ori presented his works at the Berta Urdung Gallery in New York.Ori is a handicapped IDF veteran, In 2007 Ori lost his left dominant hand, few months after amputation he returned to draw & to shoot with his camera.

ORI GALON


Ori’s passion to touch and feel the materials led him to use his fingers to draw with acrylic on canvas.His most recent work is a series of portraits called “Talking Heads” Ori lives today with his wife and three children, in a little village in the countryside. It is a place where nature knocks on your door every morning, and where each new day offers beauty and creativity.

This body of work is a summary of an ongoing photographic process, composed from three different series started in 2011, in an attempt to depict the spaces I can refer

to as “Home”. It is a visual research, based on personal sources, and looking at the relations between Deadpan Photography, landscape, & the political presence. The first chapter called “Yehoopez” is a series of black and white images scanned from negatives, which took place in my home town of Beer Sheba. There was an attempt to show the gaps, the fragments, the tensions and the discontinuity, arising from this specific environment, through the visual syntax .One can define the local scenery and the living environment in the pictures as twilight zones, which function as barriers between east and west, old and new, public and private. The Sisyphean connection between the city and the desert is

a main element. The second chapter is called “The Third space”. It includes large scale color photographs scanned from color negatives and made by a medium format camera between 2011 and 2013. I decided to explore the area of “ The 11 Points” in the Negev desert in South Israel.“The 11 Points” are eleven settlements founded in a large scale operation led by the Jewish Agency in the North of the Negev desert, which was at that time empty and demilitarized, on the night of October 5th 1946. The purpose of the operation was to create a Jewish presence in the area prior to the end of the British Mandate, and the partition of Palestine between Jews and Arabs.The space in the images acts as both the place of origin and the utopian prospect of the future, reflecting beyond the present. This duality then defines a third space The Space Between, of wandering, errancy, exile, and trial. The third chapter is called “Loess”. It includes large scale color photographs scanned from color negatives, made by a medium format camera between 2012 and 2013 in the Negev desert. I researched the visual form of the land and objects that appeared on the ground.The images stand clear and the work raise questions about identity, functionality, and about the medium itself. I was trying to describe this certain environment in a specific time


and place, whose elements are still dynamic and unsettled.

By making certain aesthetic resolutions, that Shift the objects in the pictures from their original identity and formal description, and making attend to basic geometric elements such as lines, triangles, circles and squares, I am offering a different manner of reading the works, seeking for spiratual regularity or essence.

Most Influential PHOTOGRAPHERS

Malick photographer sidibe is most noted for his black-and-white photographs of 1960s bamako. In the following decade, sidibe turned to studio portraits. His work was mostly unknown outside of mali until the late 1990s; since then, he has received the hasselblad award for photography in 2003, and the venice bienniale’s golden lion award for lifetime achievement in 2007-the first to ever be awarded to a photographer. Now in his seventies, sidibe remains productive. His reworked old portraits, with hand-drawn frames arranged in large circular clusters, were last mounted in 2005 at nyc’s jack shainman gallery.

Sidibé was born in bamako, mali. He was a peasant child who raised animals. From the age of five or six he began herding animals and working the land. When the time came he was chosen to be sent to the white school for an education. During his first year he became interested in art and by high school he was doing drawings for official events. The major admired his talent and selected

him to go to the school of sudanese craftsmen in the capital bamako. It was at this school where sidibé was approached by a photographer and learned the skills which he would pursue for the rest of his life.

In 1955, he undertook an apprenticeship at gérard guillat-guignard’s photo service boutique, also known as gégé la pellicule. In 1956 he bought his first camera, a brownie flash, and in 1957 became a full-time photographer, opening his own studio (studio malick) in bamako in 1958. He specialized in documentary photography, focusing

M A L I C K S I D I B É(Born 1935 Or 1936)


particularly on the youth culture of the malian capital.Sidibé took photographs at sport events, the beach, nightclubs, concerts,

and even tagged along while the young men seduced girls. He increasingly became noted for his black-and-white studies of popular culture in the 1960s in bamako. Musicians like salif keita and ali farka touré came to international attention in the 1990s, at almost the same moment as malian photography was being recognized.One of the best known of sidibé›s works from that time is nuit de noel, happy club (christmas eve, happy club) (1963), in which a smiling couple — the man in a suit, the woman in a western party dress, but barefoot.

In the 1970s, sidibé turned towards the making of studio portraits. His background in drawing became useful in a way that he was able to position people so they still appeared alive in photos rather than mummie like. People enjoyed the studio, it was different


than others and had electricity which was a luxury at the time. Sidibé was able to increase his reputation through the first meetings on african photography in mali in 1994.

His work is now exhibited in europe (for example, the fondation cartier in paris), the united states and japan. Many of his photographs are part of the contemporary african art collection (caac) of jean pigozzi.


Malick Sidibé is represented by fifty one fine art photography, antwerp.

In 2003, sidibé received the hasselblad award for photography.

In 2006 tigerlily films made a documentary entitled dolce vita africana about malick sidibé, filming him at work in his studio in bamako, having a reunion with many of his friends (and former photographic subjects) from his younger days and speaking to him abouthis work.

In 2007, sidibé became the first african and the first photographer to be awarded the golden lion award for lifetime achievement at the venice biennale. Robert storr, the show’s artistic director, said,

“no african artist has done more to enhance photography’s stature in the region, contribute to its history, enrich its image archive or increase our awareness of the textures and

transformations of african culture in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st than malick sidibé.” In 2008, sidibé was awarded the icp infinity award for lifetime achievement.


Ryan McGinley

McGinley�s photographs capture the fleeting moments of his idealized cast of twentysomething waifs. They wander through flowered fields at sundown, play in trees and caves after dark, and dematerialize into the flares of handheld sparkers. The whimsical fantasy of his youthful subjects has inspired hundreds of young photographers and Tumblrs while pioneering the modern aesthetic

of road-tripping photography.
