viviana_tagar_TelAvivOne“Tel Aviv is the city of light and shadows,” says photographer Viviana Tagar. “I decided to focus on the light.” Tagar, whose new book “Tel Aviv One” was recently published, wanted to redress the imbalance in how Tel Aviv is perceived abroad. “People see Tel Aviv as a city of war and despair… it was important to me to portray and present another Tel Aviv for them.” Tagar, a psychotherapist by trade, says that in her daily work she’s encountered many of the painful sides of life in Israel’s major city. “Tel Aviv has many dark aspects. It could be that because I worked with terror attack survivors and other people who lived in shadow, it was important for me to show the sides that are illuminated.”

    2. Stunning photographs – there are so many angles that Tel Aviv can be photographed from, especially the Bauhaus buildings!

    4. Such beautiful pictures. Is there any way to order the book for delivery to the US? I tried the websites of the 2 bookstores you listed but couldn’t find the book available there, and it’s not on amazon.
