After an early fascination with photography and film cameras in the 1980s, Gabi Ben Avraham chose to pursue a career as an IT manager, setting aside his passion for the still image. Despite the long hiatus, his interest in photography never truly disappeared. Decades later, a simple yet meaningful gift—a camera from his wife—rekindled that dormant passion and marked his return to the visual arts.
For Gabi, the street is far from a controlled studio environment; it is a living, breathing stage where unpredictable moments unfold. He often finds himself waiting patiently for elements to converge—a cyclist passing by, a dancer in motion, or a child immersed in play. Street and documentary photography have become his preferred ways of interpreting the world around him.
Over time, his camera has become an inseparable part of his identity. He carries it wherever he goes, driven by the belief that any day might present the opportunity to capture the photograph of a lifetime. Through his lens, he continuously observes his surroundings, searching for fleeting, decisive moments that vanish as quickly as they appear. In each frame, he strives to bring order to chaos, weaving together elements of composition to tell a compelling story while capturing a touch of surrealism.
His work is defined by a dialogue between visual elements—color, shape, and light—each interacting harmoniously within the frame. His ultimate goal is to preserve those elusive moments that, once gone, can never be recreated, transforming them into timeless images.
With every click, Gabi seeks to elevate the ordinary, infusing seemingly insignificant moments with meaning. His photographs aim to create an intimate, almost dreamlike experience for the viewer—what he describes as a private hallucination—one that lingers in memory long after the moment itself has faded.
In addition to working independently for several years, Gabi has also contributed to the photographic community by conducting street photography workshops. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including solo shows, group exhibitions, and international street photography festivals. He has also served as a judge in multiple photography competitions and achieved significant recognition by winning first place in the street photography singles category at the LensCulture awards in 2020.

About her work
Latife Baudet photographs instinctively, often guided by light and the subtle details that emerge within everyday life. Her images are rooted in a quiet curiosity — a way of noticing what often remains overlooked or seemingly nonessential.
She typically begins at a distance, observing from afar, allowing moments to unfold before moving closer when something resonates. What draws her is that subtle transition, when an ordinary scene shifts into something more intimate.
Through these fleeting moments, she seeks to preserve a delicate balance between detachment and connection, holding onto what might otherwise pass unnoticed.
