PhotoArt Blog
By Oren Hasson
Photography is the absorption of light through time onto a 2D receiver. An image is created. The creation — planning and executing — is a private and personal experience. Images may then take on a life of their own. Like music, they can have a personal, an artistic, or a social role. All of that is photography — rooted in technique, ending up somewhere in the world, at different destinations. That is what this blog is about.

The Cassowary
Taking photographs at a zoo is a technical and artistic challenge.

An extinct view of the Purple Iris
Traditionally, nature conservation focuses on the conservation of species and habitats. This time I want to talk about an extinction of a view. The Purple Iris Reservation of the city of Natalya is a small reservation with a few coastal sand dunes in a center of an expensive real estate area. There are prestigious high rise buildings on...
Opposite Worlds: Double-Exposure Photography
My series of double exposure photographs won an Honorable Mention Award in the International Photography Award (IPA) 2018. I used this in camera technique to explore the collision of opposite worlds. Why not doing it in post-processing (Photoshop)? The first reason is a practical one, I wanted to play by the rules. The second reason is an induced arrogance.
