MICHAL SHANNY

I'm a photographer and documentary filmmaker based in Tel-Aviv.

My work, both in photography and in film, is reality-based, observational, direct and minimalistic. In the last 20 years I've worked mostly on music related projects, as well as personal photography.
In recent years I've been focusing on analog photography from a more sustainable point of view, conducting personal research on plant-based developers and alternative photographic processes.

I play drums in Starlite Walkers.
