Jacob Jay Garfinkel

Jacob Jay Garfinkel is an artist who lives and works in Jerusalem. He began his career in 1985 photographing famous men and women for magazine covers. From the early 1990's to 2001 he turned to street photography in order to look more carefully at the world and discover beauty in unusual places. Since 2001 his work is exclusively still life and landscape photography. A primary focus of his work is the coastal Mediterranean and seascapes.
Although his subjects have changed, the exploration for form, color and texture remain the same.
