My name is Orit and I’ve been a photographer for many years, actually from a high-school course in artistic photography, as a photographer in the Air Force, and at University as the photographer of the Student’s Association. Currently I’m an independent photographer.
When I’m taking photographs I feel a sort of happiness which it’s hard to explain in words.
I take photographs from a very deep inner place, trying to convey sensations, trying to excite, trying to draw out from apathy, trying to awaken thoughts through contemplation of my photographs, and to convey to the observer the feeling that is closest to what I was experiencing and feeling when I took the photograph. I’m inclined to photograph random situations in the street, and it is important for me to create eye contact with the random subjects, who do not know me nor do I know them and, nonetheless, to create that very special connection, that momentary bond that links us through the photograph.
When I’m connected to my photograph I try to pass that feeling onwards … and I’m happy when people looking at my photographs are able to connect to them emotionally and visually.
