Nadav Dvir
Nadav Dvir is a street photographer. His work "Platforms" is foundon the website http://lenscratch.com/2018/06/natan-dvir-platforms/. Platforms is a collection of shots that were taken in different Subway stations' platforms in New York. Nadav captures people waiting for the train: people in their daily life. the background is the same (the platforms) but the people and their activities/positions are different. the idea of picking a motive and create a collection around it.
I use the same idea in my project. last Sunday the locked down in Israel was lifted. street shops were open after 5 weeks they were closed. one business that was closed was hair during lockdown was hair salons and barbershops. people who could not take haircuts, rushed to the hair salons. In the neighborhood that i live in Tel Aviv there are many hair salons. Along the street women sat in the open air on chairs or benches on the side walks drying their fresh colored hair (due to corona there were limits for the number of customers in the shops so women customers had to sit outside. walking in the street the day the lockdown was lifted it seems like those women sprung like mushroom after the rain. I made a collection of women drying their dyed hair sitting in the street.
FARZANE GHADYANLOO
Farzane Ghadyalnoo is an Iranian street photographer photographer. I found her work on the website :
http://lenscratch.com/2018/03/iran-week-farzane-ghadyanloo-tehran-street-carpet/
Franzane captures daily scenes of daily life in Iran. I can feel her compassion and sympathy to the people he photographs..,
her work Iranian Carpet gives a human glimpse into Iranian people. we hear and read a lot about the Iranian radical government and its efforts to get nuclear weapon. we hardly have the opportunity to see the people of Iran. the news demonize Iran while Farzane work open a windows to see Iran's people; the "enemy" turns to be people like us by looking at her picture
the picture below reminds me of a picture i took this week in Tel Aviv.
Faranze's work is an example for me how to capture empathetic photos of people is their daily routine
