Welcome to

The Human Picture

           In search of the land of Israel

Shimon Z'evi, Fine Art Photographer in Israel

For years now, I have traveled the length and breadth of Israel, loving this land and its people, and trying to capture the unique quality of the land of Israel in images. For me, it has been a labor of love. I have made my living in commercial photography, but my greatest pleasure has been in the trips and adventures I've had in my country. Israel is a very small country, but strangely enough, it can't be measured in miles or kilometers. Every few steps lead to a new adventure, to the heights and depths of the human experience. But I haven't looked for the extremes, or the unusual, or those things that are extremely rare, though I suppose you can find some of that in my photography. I've just contemplated the face of the country, the beloved face of the country I love.
