Photograph by Mugur Varzariu
During my very short visit to Israel, between family visits and family meals, we managed to spend an evening at the International Festival of Photography, this year a happening organized in Jaffa/Tel Aviv by the sea.
The whole event was an eye opener, and my first real meeting with the contemporary Israeli photography scene. While there were quite a few Israeli artists I loved, the first images that caught my eye were Mugur Varzariu's images. A Romanian photographer, who left a successful career in Strategic Marketing to become a fine art photographer. His images of the gypsies, were breathtaking in their capture of simple human moments. I really loved them, and thought you would too ...
Mugur Varzariu. A name worth remembering.
The Roma people, Mugur Varzariu
