Honoring Tel Aviv With Photography Of Ron Shoshani

Tel Aviv, - July 8th, 2014

Honoring Tel Aviv: Editing Photos in the name of art Ron Shoshani's photo art captures Israel in a beautiful light: http://ron-shoshani.fineartamerica.com Yesterday's news was focused on photo editing. A national conversation on the ethics of doctoring photos was kicked off when a Brooklyn-based Hasidic Yiddish language newspaper used Photoshop to airbrush out two prominent women -- Hillary Clinton and Audrey Tomason -- from an iconic photo released by the White House. More than a rant on the extremes to which the ultra-Orthodox will go to keep photos of women from the pages of their newspapers, what I find most interesting is the question of when it is appropriate to alter a photograph.

Ronsho Perfect Tel Aviv Storm

Tel Aviv, - October 30th, 2013

Photographer Ron Shoshani loves Tel Aviv and wants to show his city in its best light.

Not sure if people still feel excitement about these touristic destinations. meanwhile, and the other side of the globe – this month in Israel, a snow storm covered Jerusalem with a snow blanket. The scene that was exposed at that early morning was something that no one can ever forget. It was a fairy tales scene, a jaw dropping performance by nature, a hypn...
