Mapping bodies

Dec 10

We are please to feature, London based photographer and graphic designer Omer Ga'ash who graduated from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem 2011. Omer is currently taking an MA in Design: Expanded Practice at Goldsmiths whilst also focusing on his fine art photography.

As a child I grew up in suburbs and traveled a lot. At that time, we were a group of ten boys and one girl in a small town near the beach in the center of Israel, we used to hang outside a lot playing and goofing around, at night even going skinny dipping, it was magical, inosine authentic moments. the fact reflects in my nude outdoor photography where I tries to capture both a main focal nature element and its surroundings with the model as part of them.
Shapes has always been a big part of my design language and I address the same way to my models when I’m directing them and set up the frame. I feel it’s not about the glorification of the human body alone but a search to compliment both the place and the body as a symbiotic system we need the nature and there for need to respect it.
