Watch the filmsMaking videos before it became a job
As a child, I filmed family scenes and experimented with small camera effects. Music, piano, humour and the pleasure of revisiting a memory belonged to the same world. In my podcast with David Seroussi, I explain how that creative interest became my profession.
In the conversation I describe twenty years in video and events, alongside television, interviews and podcasts. That background informs my photography and camera work in Israel.
A cinematic perspective on your wedding
I enjoy the connections between images: a glance, a reaction, words at the ceremony and the energy of the celebration. In the podcast we also discuss changing cameras and the desire to make more cinematic films.
Explore the examples first. Their style, sound and rhythm should make you want to revisit your own day. We can then discuss photography, film, drone footage and photo magnets for your wedding.
Planning together in French
From France or Israel, we can prepare your coverage in French. I’m based in Netanya and plan wedding work in Tel Aviv, Hadera, Caesarea, Raanana and Jerusalem. Your venue, travel and important moments will shape the preparation.
You can start with a preferred period and city before you have a date. Availability is confirmed for a specific day.
Creativity and AI
I also explore AI creations and new ways to tell a story. We can imagine effects or a creative sequence together, with your real wedding moments at the heart of the coverage.
The French-language podcast lets you hear how I talk about my work. The wedding presentation and films show my images. If this feels right for you, send me a few words about your plans.
