Quite a telented artist as a child, Eyal picked up on photography when he received a Canon ‘point and shoot’ camera for his 13th birthday. I must thank my mum for forking out on the development of hundreds of rolls of film, with very few, if any semi-decent pictures.

“It all came together for me one day. I was with my family heading back to Australia via Greece. We only had a couple of days in Athens, so we took an evening tour to an ancient temple for the Greek god Posedion. While the tour group carried along the path towards the temple to take their pictures, I stepped left from the path, framed the setting sun through the temple’s columns, silohuetted the other tourists, and took what I thought was a great photo. It was the photo that whet my appetite for photography”.

Eyal studied photography, more specifically, the theory of photography. Learnt about dark rooms and techniques within dark rooms. Was taught the rules of thirds, leading lines, etc. The reality, it is so difficult to teach photography. There really are no rules. What is correct in one scene can be totally wrong in another.

“My learning has come from an understanding of the basic triangle of SS, Ap, and ISO. Everything else comes from trial and error. Honing techniques. Watching and listening to incredible photographers on YouTube. Taking inspiration through looking through various online portfolios. Seeing them in stores and galleries. And most importantly, taking photos that appeal to me, not the potential end viewer.

I feel like everywhere I go, every street I walk through, I am composing an image. Hopefully that never changes.”

“I hope you enjoy my work”.
