Motty Levy

I start working as a photography teacher for the first few years of my career, and then i move to photojournalist. Working for a variety of newspapers and magazines
As a photographer and artist I have always striven for the time surprise of the ordinary. I've evolved from education to photojournalism, driven by a passion for capturing the extraordinary in the ordinary. My artistic journey explores cultural and social issues, particularly those tied to my heritage.
Through projects like "Dreamland: After Mark Twain in the Holy Land" and "I Am Cuba," I've explored the complexities of human experience, delving into the nuances of diversity and change. These projects have allowed me to examine the intricacies of cultural identity and the ways in which history shapes our understanding of the world.

My current project call “Fleeting Glimpse”: This body of work engages elements of the unknown. where i distant my self from a photography technical standard role of law, letting my instinct take over and explore. it is a bit like: painting blindly with my camera
The result tend to highlight high and low moment, in a very figurative elements that are grounded in the world as most of us know it. I continue to explore new themes and techniques...
