Tal Paz-Fridman

Bio
My name is Tal Paz-Fridman, I am a photographer specializing in Creative-Documentary photography. To paraphrase the description of one of my favorite photographers, Sam Abell, my style of photography is documentary in the sense that I record the world around me. However, I feel my best work has transcendent qualities, starting at the documentary level yet open to interpretation on an aesthetic level.

A book of my photographs was published by Matar Books and MoD Publishing House [ISBN 9650510486]. The book examines the landscape and people of Israel as captured at night - from sunset to sunrise.

I am inspired by many photographers but the following stand out (in no particular order):
Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jim Brandenburg, Micha Bar Am, Pete McBride, Jim Richardson, Sam Abell and William Albert Allard.


Favorite Quotes:

"My best work is often almost unconscious and occurs ahead of my ability to understand it."
Sam Abell

“What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible.”
Theodore Roethke
