My name is Tal Paz-Fridman, I am a photographer specializing in creative-documentary photography. To paraphrase the description of one of my favorite photographers, Sam Abell, my style of photography is documentary in the sense that I record the world around me. However, I feel my best work has transcendent qualities, starting at the documentary level yet open to interpretation on an aesthetic level. I lived in a Kibbutz, Dallas, London and Toronto. I am married with 3 extraordinary children.

I am inspired by many photographers but the following stand out (in no particular order): Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jim Brandenburg, Micha Bar Am, Pete McBride, Reza, Sam Abell and William Albard Allard.
