I'm Amnon, born in 1981, raised in Jerusalem. Currently living in Jaffa with Mor my wife, Lia & Zohar my daughters and Yaski our dog. I Graduated with B.FA after five fascinating years in the Film & Television Department of Tel Aviv University. I'm learning new stuff everyday and trying to implement it in my work.​ ​ Since 2006 i've been working as AC, Gaffer, 2nd Camera and DP in various fiction, documentary and experimental films, as well as TV series, shows, commercials and music videos. I directed documentaries, short films, music videos and promotional & documercial films. ​ I always carry my camera on me, capturing magical moments, trying to say to the world what i wish through visuals. The fun part is to show the ugly as beautiful, the trivial as thrilling. Always in search after the right unique visual identity, discovering the photographic heart of a script, planting meaning behind the images. ​ I believe Cinema is everywhere. We just need to observe. We are the Directors of our Photography.
