I’m Yoav Cohen—a landscape photographer, tech enthusiast, and reserve IDF officer, based in Tel Aviv, Israel.

 

For years I have enjoyed photography. My latest portfolio, called "Point of View", was born out of my love for photography, storytelling, and Israel itself. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a photo-journalistic journey to rediscover what I thought I knew about my home. I decided to go beyond the classic and well-known, bringing to life Israel’s secrets— places and events hiding in plain sight that were yet to be shared with the world.

​

I am privileged to have photos recognized by National Geographic Israel, DJI, various photography communities and to have been featured in The Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel and national media channels.

​

Like everyone in Israel and many around the world, my life changed drastically on October 7th, 2023. Photography became the last priority as I was drafted to my officer position in reserves  in a mass emergency call up in what was no less than a war for our home.

 

For close to 250 days I found myself in a parallel world - fully committed to the mission and the historic significance of protecting our home alongside over 300,000 reservists. In my services I have met the tragedy that comes with war, as well as the heroism that goes beyond words.

​

I’ve never lost my passion for exploring, capturing, and sharing the beauty and complexity of Israel. It is with this passion that I continue the journey that I started. 

 

I believe photography sparks meaningful conversations and connections. I invite you to join me, and to bring a piece of hidden Israel to your space to share with the world.
