ABOUT OSHRI YARIMI

A strong childhood memory of mine, is my mother holding her camera trying to capture unique moments of our daily life. We used to spend many evenings going through our photo albums together, cherish those beautiful moments with such joy.

 

A person's picture symbolises for me much more than just a picture, but a fascinating opportunity to get a glimpse into the person's soul, a "sneak peek" to the core of the situation in the exact second.

​

I believe there's something truly gripping in the ability to capture a single moment, along with its emotions and sensations, and preserve it forever.

 

Throughout the years my camera was there as an alternative daily diary where I have used pictures instead of words.

 

As a portrait photographer, I am given a unique possibility to connect with the person in front of me. Although physically I am behind the camera, my presence is noticeable on the other side of it, expressed in the sensitivity and attention I provide to the individual, which in most cases finds himself in a completely new environment. These unique and emotional occasions have attracted me to further develop my photography skills and knowledge.

 

Later in my career as a photographer I also specialised in food photography. I'm fascinated by the ability of a good photo to stimulate our taste buds. The way the food is placed, the colors of the dish, together with the right lighting stimulates much more than just our sight.

 

‏ When I moved to Sweden I started working with people with disabilities. This practice has helped me to develop other means of communication besides speech, as well as to linger and pay attention to many things that "pass us by" in our daily lives. As a photographer, this ability allows me to see beyond what the person in front of me is reflecting and assists me in creating an intimate and relaxed atmosphere which then will contribute to the course of the photoshoots. 

 

‏ I believe that photography is something that can not be done without a soul, therefore it's always there with me when I hold my camera.
