Yaniv Waissa

Yaniv Waissa was born in Haifa, Israel in 1978. He graduated his degree in photography and digital media at the Hadassah College in Jerusalem in 2004. After college, he continued to study photography in a post graduate program at the Musrara School in 2007. His works were exhibited in several (solo and group) exhibitions and photo festivals in Israel and abroad and also published in several international magazines. His photographic journeys lead him all across his country. Wherever he goes he examines the relationship between man and nature and the, sometimes absurd, connection and constant tension between past, present and future. Yaniv Waissa creates an intimate atmosphere in every frame and put his personal feelings, emotions and nostalgia into it. Everywhere he goes he recognizes a personal memory that can ignite a collective memory of the viewer.
