Victor Ben Tzvi
An art photographer from Israel, passionate about pure photographic expression, and exploring the beauty of Classic Black and White medium, Large Format camera work (4×5”) and theatric illumination, as a creative and poetic means. In his photo-poem, he’s seeking for “Splendour from within mundane”, to live the themes that captivate me through the Act of Photography, to unveil the sublime and the sway in it, to pronounce, to suggest and to evoke.
