Classic Inspiration

כשניגשנו לצילומים של כלי הקרמיקה והעולם העשיר והגרנדיוזי של האמן סמי די ב -2009 עבור ספר על עיצוב ישראלי הצעתי לסמי לקחת ציור קלאסי כבסיס לצילומים שלנו 
סמי חזר אלי עם ספר עב כרס ובו הציור הנפלא הזה

La Grande Odalisque

של
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

מצאנו את הדוגמנית המושלמת ,   ויצרנו בתהליך קפדני וכיפי את הצילום הזה



הצילום הופיע בספר העיצוב הישראלי בהוצאת אורלי רובינזון וגם בתערוכת אימג'יניישן של בנק הפועלים , שם רכש אותו איש עסקים למשרדו .
עותק מהצילום תלוי בבית היפה של סמי ויוחאי



את תהליך העבודה ניתן לראות באלבום הזה

סמי ואני מבסוטים מהמכירה

For the new Dior campaign  Inez and Vinod took inspiration from Manet's famous painting - le dejeuner sur l'herb

When working on  Samy.D 's portfolio for an Israeli design book I offered Samy to take a classic painting as the basis for our imagery.
Samy came back with a thick book in which this wonderful painting of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres .

We found the perfect model, and in a  rigorous  and fun process created  this photo .

The Tigress from Ein - Gedi

At the end of the day at Sinergia , after shooting all the lovely, different , treatments of the Spa , I said to Shani :" let's do something different , you see that rock over there , pretend to be a tigress ."
She did it very naturally and only afterwards did it occur to me that Ein-Gedi is the place where leopards were last seen in Israel .
Another thing about this photograph is the resemblance between 16 years old Shani and the late ,divine ,Tami Ben Ami.

My Favorite Beaches

Some of my favorite locations in Israel are the beaches.

The Muslim cemetery in Jaffa

I went for a location tour ,for a new project and the door to this Muslim cemetery was open , so I went in.
It's quite spooky ,very run down ,but beautiful.
One day they will probably open it for the public ,but I hope they don't renovate it too much.
