—क्या आप फ़ोटोजेनिक हैं?

—Depend on when I wake up

—आप फोटोग्राफ़ी इंडस्ट्री में कैसे आए?

—Well, I was always into photography since high school, but 10 years ago I got a job as a photographer for an internet news website in Israel and from that point on things started to take off

—आपकी नज़र में एक अच्छी तस्वीर में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बातें क्या हैं?

—when I look at a photo I try to see real filings and real emotions, in my eyes, those are the thing that will get the viewers eyes the most

—क्या आपको यात्रा करना पसंद है?

—Sure, and especially now when I have two kids its fantastic thing to travel with them and to have the ability to show them the world

—अपने पेशे के बारे में आपको सबसे अधिक क्या पसंद है?

—I think the chance I have in meeting new people almost every day is something that I will never get bored off

—अपने पेशे के बारे में आपको क्या सबसे कम पसंद है?

—all the logistic stuff (booking, meetings, accounting, etc..) let me shoot all day and I will be fine

—फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी का क्या भविष्य है?

—These days when I'm answering this interview (Covid-19), we are having one of the most challenging times as photographers.
But I see more and more bookings for small family portraits; people want to remember and to have a visual memory of themself.

—आप जिस फोटोग्राफी में स्पेश्लाइज़ेशन रखते हैं उसमें क्या खास होता है?

—I shoot people, and I don't describe my self, if it's with people and to document real situations, I'm in. I think that that's the unique thing about it, the ability to show people how that looks like and how they beehive with their own family.

—आलोचनाओं को आप किस रूप में लेते हैं?

—It's part of the job, and you have to understand that not everyone is going to like what you do, and I think that's good. You want to distinguish yourself from other photographers, not to be like everyone else.

—क्या फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी में कोई ट्रेंड चल रहे हैं?

—Sure, like in any other industry, but try to avoid it, trends are for people that don't want to be creative if you're going to be unique, so don't copy-paste other people work

—यदि किसी ग्राहक को फोटोग्राफ़र चुनना हो तो उसे क्या देखना चाहिए?

—I don't think there's one criterion, in the end, it comes to how people create when they see a photo of you, how it makes them feel.

—शूटिंग के दौरान किन बातों की बिलकुल अनुमति नहीं होती है?

—in my opinion, I try not to tell people how to act and how to move when I photograph them, I want them to be themselves for them to resonate with the work I do

—एक फोटोग्राफर ऐसी कौन सी चीजें कैप्चर कर सकता है जो आमतौर पर नज़रों में नहीं आतीं?

—The small thing that people don't pay attention to, let's say the groom forget to unzip one button, the photographer will notice it and will tell him to close it

—आपकी राय में 21वीं सदी का प्रतीक कौन व्यक्ति हो सकता है?

—I think that in these days, its Donald Trump, unfortunately, but I think he represents the fact that people are looking for shortcuts in life and in business. And there's no shortcut, if you want to succeed you have to put in the work. I think people elected him cause that thought that in 4 years he will come and change everything and now we see that its not the case.

—आप किसकी तस्वीरें उतारना चाहेंगे?

—I would be happy to photograph the Queen of England. I already photograph her son and one grandson.

—क्या आपका कोई प्रोफ़ेशनल टैबू है यानी पेशे की दृष्टि से कोई वर्जित बातें?

—I was a photojournalist for almost seven years, and I shoot a lot of stuff that happened in my country even during challenging situations, but I would not photograph something that I would have thought that will cause the other person to fill like I misrepresent what really took place.

—आपको अपने जीवन कौन सबसे अधिक प्रेरित करता है और क्यों?
