Personal Work

My grandmother, known to all as Chana, has been my favorite model for approximately the last 10 years. I am entranced by the texture of her skin and the flowery patterns of her dresses. Most of the time she does not want to be bothered by me and is very upfront as to how she feels about the camera. However, on those rare days when she is in the right frame of mind and aware of my presence, we have what I consider some of the most beautiful moments we will ever share. In those rare moments we are having a deep conversation without words. Through the process of photographing her, I have come to understand her in a way that would not have been otherwise possible.


Chana was not in a good mood most of the day on Thursday, the 24th of February; mostly because she wanted to leave to feed her chickens.
