Roi Sananes HTTP://WWW.BEHANCE.NET/ROISANANES 1. When did you realize that photography was your passion? Probably a year and a half ago, when I found myself jumping over a fence at the Berlin zoo, To catch a better pic of a tiger. 2. When did you start photograph with film? 2 years ago, when I found an awesome Pentax Me at my grandparents’ house. 3. What is your main inspiration? Music. Different songs put me in different moods, Which inspire me and totally affects my photo shoots. 4. If you have to photograph in one location, where it would be? Either the grand canyon, or the Amazonas jungles 5. Favorite roll of film. Kodak 200. definitely.
6. List of cameras and which one is your favorite? Pentax Me, Minolta Maxxum 7000 and a dslr- canon 60d. Fav- Pentax Me. Good, old and sentimental. 7. One thing you really love to shot? Fashion. I do it for a year now, and it’s amazing. 8. Is analog photography changed you in some way? Well, It has taught me to devote extra attention to every shot I take. When you use a Dslr, it’s super easy to just shoot and shoot over and over, then simply erase. Analog photography on the other hand- makes you take a deep breath before you click. An important lesson. 9. What was the craziest thing you shoot? Either climbing to a 4 story building rooftop to capture an amazing sunset, or taking a pic of 5 skinhead punks in Berlin, who clearly didn’t want to photograph. Or wait, Maybe it’s the tiger in the zoo. 10. Do you take your camera to everywhere? Well, almost. except the bathroom. maybe.

The thing for the future, above. I really want it. And peace and health, of course, for everyone.

Yoram Leviant 1. When did you realize that photography was your passion? I started photographing at a very young age. My dad used to carry around a large camera bag containing his Pentax SLR with an external light meter and some other stuff. Every photo he took was carefully composed and metered. I was curious to learn to do it myself so at a young age I learned about aperture, shutter speed and light. My first camera which I got as a kid was a Kodak Instamatic that used Instamatic 126 cassettes of 20 square frames. I still have the negatives from that time. Later on I took over the Pentax and also learned how to develop and print B&W film. I neglected this hobby later until digital photography appeared. It was then easy to take photos without the hassle of film. As I became more experienced in digital photography I eventually realized that it lacked some of the film quality and fun so I went back to film 2. When did you start photograph with film? At the age of 10 3. What is your main inspiration? I can’t pick a single one. There are many photographers I like. Basically any photo which succeeds in holding my eyes on and capture my brain for more than 5 seconds (not an easy task…) inspires me. 4. If you have to photograph in one location, where it would be? I can’t pick a single one. There are many photographers I like. Basically any photo which succeeds in holding my eyes on and capture my brain for more than 5 seconds (not an easy task…) inspires me. 5. Favorite roll of film. I shoot all kinds of B&W, Color negatives as well as color slides depending on the mood and the scene. If I were limited to choose just one roll I’d probably pick one of the saturated slide films such as Kodak E100VS (RIP) or Fuji Velvia. I’d rather not be limited
6. List of cameras and which one is your favorite? I have several cameras. I prefer range finders due to their accuracy and quietness. My favorite is my Fuji GF670, a modern medium format rangefinder made in the digital age. Light, quiet and produces beautiful images 7. One thing you really love to shot? The world around me . 8. Is analog photography changed you in some way? It definitely improved the quality of my photography especially after returning from digital. The simplicity which comes with analog photography leaves the photographer with less distraction and more focus on actual photography. Film also demands the photographer to take their photos more seriously. In addition, analog photography is somewhat of a philosophy saying that advancement in technology is not necessarily advancement in life or society. Ridiculously, in spite of impressive technological advancement in digital photography most photos today are taken with lousy Smartphone cameras. Those photos end up in some digital cloud with unclear future. I can talk about that for hours 9. What was the craziest thing you shoot? I never thought about it until now. During Gulf War I (1991) I found myself driving while a siren went off. I looked at the sky and saw a Scud missile flying not far over Haifa bay. I grabbed the camera and took a shot. The resulting photo was quite blurry but people liked it 10. Do you take your camera to everywhere? Pretty much. I try to carry at least a small p&s film camera throughout the day in my bag. Other cameras go with me when I travel or when I go out with an aim of taking photos

Of analog photography or in general? I believe we are in the future in the sense that the community and market of film photography has stabilized. Hopefully it’ll slightly increase as Gen-Y’ers discover the medium We’ve seen the market shrink significantly in recent years both in size and variety. I regret for the reduction in variety although I understand the business background. If things stay the way they are in the future I’ll be happy.
13.Wishes? Be healthy and happy

Hila zomer 1. When did you realize that photography was your passion? When my drawing skills got stuck somewhere in elementary school, I guess. 2. When did you start photograph with film? As a kid we had analogical cameras at home, so it has always been a natural and a familiar thing to me, but then the digital photography became popular and the analog photography stayed lost behind. I started using analog cameras again two years ago when I revealed the Lomography. 3. What is your main inspiration? People and nature, I find them fascinating. 4. If you have to photograph in one location, where it would be? Hawaii. Never been there. To me Hawaii associated with surf, ocean, flowers and free spirit all around.

6. List of cameras and which one is your favorite? Diana mini, Diana F+, Fisheye, La Sardina. Diana F+ It’s my fav one for sure. 7. One thing you really love to shot? Flowers. Always picture good through the camera’s lens. 8. Is analog photography changed you in some way? Totally! The analog photography proves me all the time that hard work is always worth doing and it encourages me to look at things differently and in a much more creative way, especially when shooting in Lomography style which makes me see things in a bizarre way. 9. What was the craziest thing you shoot? Light painting counts? 10. Do you take your camera to everywhere? Every corner is full of magic and inspiration.

The future is analog, of course!

Shiran ben yaakov 1. When did you start photograph with film? When I realized that photography can stop time. When I was 14 I was sent on an Excavation in the south of Israel.

10. Is there any piece of advice you can give? Any tips? Light. People forget the most important thing for us is light. Without it, there would be no photos, and we would not exist as well. The best advice I ever got was: “When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk” (the good, the bad and the ugly”) 11. What is the future? I’m not sure, I’ll probably know tomorrow. 1q. Wishes? For myself I wish only health, but more importantly, for the world and me – may we all live in peace and may there be no boundaries between us.

omri goldzak 1. When did you start photograph with film? I’ve always had an inquisitive nature for old things in my house. I used to pry on drawers, high shelves that are only reachable by using chairs, and the spaces above fridges. I discovered my passion for film photography when I first found my mom’s film camera, in a dusty fabric pouch with a dark blue corduroy-velvet strip attached to it. It was in the 10th grade, and it’s still like this today. I asked my mom to teach me how to use it. It was love at first sight.
7. One thing you really love to shot? Like I said, I photograph people from my life, aiming to preserve everyday situations and accentuate them, making them special and dreamy. 8. Is analog photography changed you in some way? I think so. It takes me a long time to finish a roll of film. My last one took about a year. During that I traveled a lot with my camera, documenting only very specific moments.
There’s something tough about digital photography in the way you treat the picture you’re taking. 2. When did you start photograph with film? You can go out on a trip with a friend, and delete I developed my first film a year and a half after I half of 500 pictures you took in a couple of hours. found that camera, which was relatively late. My Using film, this doesn’t happen. I think a lot mom was afraid that I’d ruin it and bought me a before I take it. Is it the moment I’ve been waitdigital camera.

It’ll be special just like the others and it’ll stand out by 3. What is your main inspiration? My main inspiration are people from my life. People reminding that specific moment. who are close to me, my partners in my creative pro- It’s a process of learning how to restrain yourself. You learn to appreciate each and every click, you cess. People whose rendezvous trigger an emotion. get excited with each and every developed film. 4. If you have to photograph in one location, where it would be? Although it’s not a physical place, but I wish I could photograph that exact moment between dream and reality, just when you wake up. That’s exactly it. 5. Favorite roll of film. Fuji Sensia 200. Without a doubt. 6. List of cameras and which one is your favorite? Nikon FM and Holga GFN. I used to use Diana F+ too, but I sold it to purchase the Holga GFN. Nikon is, without a doubt, my favorite.
9. What was the craziest thing you shoot? I don’t usually take it to the crazy side unfortunately, so the furthest for me was taking nudes of a friend. 10. Do you take your camera to everywhere? It comes in waves. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. At the moment I rarely take it.

Connect emotionally to what you’re shooting. Think twice before you click. Strive to break out of yourselves with every click, every film. Don’t be afraid to use an unfamiliar roll of film or a camera, and fall in love with it. 12.What is the future? From where I am today, I’d want photography to be more central in my life. I’d want it to be another tool through which I connect reality, everyday life and art and my own interpretation to reality.
13.Wishes? A decent TLR camera will do. I’m still observing that, though. Either way, a LOMO LC-A is also an unfulfilled dream.
