With time, we value the memories of our loved ones more and more.

This is why I make photographs for you to keep forever.

Family Photography

  • We will film you in your favorite location

Family Legacy Documentaries

Did you ever dream of having the story of your family taped, so your kids could watch and listen to it when they grow up?

Do you feel the urge to make the recording ASAP? If so, we’re on the same page!

I’m collaborating with families to create custom-made biography documentary movies.

I use my expertise as a documentary filmmaker and interviewer to create movies capturing not only stories, but emotions, feelings, nuances of the voice of your loved ones.

You are going to get a film that will inevitably become a treasured heirloom.

Sounds exciting, right?

Meet Arik Shraga, your family photographer and documentary filmmaker

I’m a 42 years old father of two, based in Tzur Hadassah town near Jerusalem. Every evening we walk through the gates of the moshav and find ourselves in a quiet pine forest. Every other night I hang out in the basement playing guitar or drums. Here are some more facts:

  • I work in all parts of Israel as well as abroad.

  • The most important person in the room is you. Whether it’s a photography or an interview session, it’s always about the person in front of the camera, not the one behind it.

  • Taking out anxiety from a photoshoot. I believe that a relaxed, friendly atmosphere is a key to a successful photo or interview session. After 10 years in humanitarian photography, I know how to put at ease people from all walks of life.

  • Documentary approach. I’m not directing and not making people pose on a photoshoot. Instead, I’m using a documentary approach which means that I listen carefully, watch closely and freeze those moments when my heart skips a beat.

  • Feels like life. Expect to get images filled with meaning and emotions, crafted with love and intention.

  • Background in social documentary. In 2008 I received a degree in photojournalism and since then work professionally as a documentary photographer/cinematographer with families, humanitarian organizations and theaters.
