Photographer Osher Partovi (Israel) My name is Osher Partovi. I am a 42 year old photographer from Ramat Gan, Israel. During my travels to the Far East, nineteen years ago, I discovered my passion for photography with use of a tiny old film pocket camera. This passion was put on hold during my studies, but four years later, after finishing my B.A, my love for photography was re-ignited and drove me to do what I love. Since then, the camera became an inseparable part of my life. Photography is the way I choose to express myself. I present photographs that show the world as seen through my eyes. I seek to capture certain moments, whether I create them or experience them, in the most unique and different way that I can. I seek inspiration to jump-start my creative process. This inspiration can be general, like a feeling or a sense. It could also be an image, story or a movie that can Crosse my way. Sometimes my inspiration come with in the location These locations are rich with feeling, history, colors and context, all of which help build a picture in my head. I then share it with my creative team that Together we build the frame and perfect it from the inspiration part to the final picture. This team who help me are my imaginative wife Korin, a choreographer and dance teacher, and Michael Polkanov, a talented fashion designer. Every one of us contributes a unique point of view which develops these ideas further, as well as hard work to bring these concepts to life. Together, we think about every detail in the frame. We consider which style we’d like to use, which colors would match perfectly to the location, which kind of a dress to create, which model would suit the best, which accessories would match and many other variables. These details must all work as part of one cohesive piece to portray the concept.
