let’s take a look back at summer 2011 with photographer Ron Shoshani. Shoshani — who also works under the name Ronsho — spent a lot of time on the beach this summer, snapping pictures of the Tel Aviv shoreline, then taking the results back to the studio where he works his digital magic, creating hyper­realistic images that seem to almost jump off the screen.

The weather is changing. The days are shorter, nights are cooler and the High Holy Days are almost upon us. One
moment before we put our sandals and bathing suits away, let’s take a look back at summer 2011 with
photographer Ron Shoshani.
Shoshani — who also works under the name Ronsho — spent a lot of time on the beach this summer, snapping
pictures of the Tel Aviv shoreline, then taking the results back to the studio where he works his digital magic,
creating hyper­realistic images that seem to almost jump off the screen. (A previous column provides a more
detailed explanation of his work process).

2. “The major trick,” says Shoshani “is to be there at the right time, i.e. sunrise or sunset. These are the magic hours
when the light is soft and the colors are great.” This photo of the famous (and infamous) Metzizim beach was shot
at 6:00am.
Good morning Tel Aviv
Shoshani states that there are things of beauty all around us, “but sometimes we’re not aware and neglect
them…” The sands of Tel Aviv’s Jerusalem beach, pounded each day by thousands of bare feet, suddenly reveals
its rhythmic pattern…

3. Another early morning shot of Metzizim beach reveals a different pattern, this time machine­made…
To date, Shoshani has shared his work on Facebook, where a community of fans leave compliments and conduct
discussions. He’s now opened up a second community on Google+, having reached the 5000 FB friends limit.
Visit and view the full size photos, including an amazing photo of some New York highway cops on their lunch
break. By request of the policemen, a print of Ronsho’s photo now hangs in the HQ of NYPD Highway Patrol #15.
