entry description
On the most northern point of Tel-Aviv promenade, urbanism meets beach life. It is where the hotels and their concrete walls start to infiltrate the long stretch of Tel-Aviv beach, creating spots for leisure and sport activities, usually only locals know of. There, under the massive concrete walls that disguise themselves as friendly, I find moments of joy, people are playing with each other and the city, the sun and the shadow it casts is playing with them.about the photographer
My name is Aviram Bar-Akiva. I am a native born Israeli living and working in Tel-Aviv. The passion for photography was always within me, but it was only when I turned 42 that I grabbed a camera and went down to the streets of Tel-Aviv. It is during the weekends and the late hours that I enjoy walking among the busy streets and monumental buildings, passing by the lively coffee shops during the day or the noisy bars and colorful clubs at night. The city's heartbeat becomes my own, as I watch the city and the people that make it, trying to capture all of that which comes into my sight.back to gallery
