“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” ~ Dorothea Lange

I have been working as a photojournalist in Israel and the Palestinian territories since 1998, shooting for a wide range of Israeli, Palestinian and international outlets including Bild, Le Monde, United Press International, Haaretz, Inter Press Service, The Jerusalem Post, Al-Quds, Monocle, National Geographic News, Archaeology and Ma’an Images. I have also served as the British Embassy-Tel Aviv’s official photographer since 2005, and shoot routinely for other diplomatic missions, private companies and NGOs. I shot the nesa’iyeh project documenting Palestinian women activists and I am the author of My New Middle East, a finalist for the 2012 New Mexico-Arizona Book Award.
