Family photography

crafted with love

Am I the photographer you’re looking for?

Let me help you decide

Your Needs

I’m here to photograph your

  • Family gathering

  • Bar/Bat Mitzvah

  • Headshot portrait

  • Unconventional occasion

That’s right, besides regular occasions, I have experience photographing very unusual and sensitive family situations. I follow a strict code of ethics. My background in humanitarian photography ensures that you can trust me whatever your circumstances are, as I’m trusted by the world’s largest humanitarian organizations.

My Vision

  • I apply a documentary approach. It’s moment-driven, photojournalistic, candid as opposed to directed, staged, posed. I’m looking for the beauty and authenticity of the moment to capture, and all you need to do is enjoy the day with your loved ones.

  • I capture something that photography is most suited for: a momentary gaze, the nuances of body language, the subtle interplay of colors, shapes and light which constitute the visual poetry of an artistic photographic image.

Your Budget

  • Depending on the budget you plan to spend on photography we will work out the plan that will make all parties happy. It’s flexible, don’t hesitate to ask.

Testimonials

“I would like to recommend photographer Arik Shraga who accompanied us all evening of the Bar Mitzvah of our son Ariel.

Arik not only showed up at the very beginning of the event and stayed till the end, but he also came a few days earlier, to get to know us and explore the venue. He came up with ideas for interesting photos.

He was pleasant, involved in the event, and collaborated with anyone who wanted to be photographed. He also initiated photos and angles of his own and fitted in great at the event, to the delight of the entire family and guests.

The results were the following: we received fantastic, professional, sharp and quality photographs.

The whole family was excited to see the impressive photos and we as a family got a great souvenir from the event.

Thanks, Arik!!!”

“I've worked with Arik for nearly 8 years in his capacity as JDC's humanitarian photographer, so when the time came for me to get married, there was only one photographer I wanted to capture that day.

Of course, every frame was perfect; every photo captured a special moment and all the joy and excitement of the day.

Not only did Arik bring out the best in every single guest, but he also went above and beyond the call of duty in every way conceivable — he captured our beloved corner flower seller as he was making our bouquet (!), he had a stunning slide show ready for our Sheva Brachot 36 hours after the wedding (!) and perhaps most incredible of all, he presented us with a stunning, hand-made, engraved wooden box for our photos (!), which every guest to our home marvels over.

Arik is not only a talented photographer, he is an artist and a craftsman who imbues every frame with beauty and heart.”

“I loved working with Arik as a photographer.  Besides the fact that his photos capture "the moment" in the most moving way possible, he is an absolute pleasure to work with

He goes with the flow and works with you in the situation.  All of our absolute BEST family photos are from him and we would never consider using anyone else.  I highly, highly recommend using him if you are lucky enough to do so!   

I can promise you will get photos that you will cherish!  If you want to reach out to me to hear anything else, please feel free to do so.”
