About Asher Svidensky

My name is Asher Svidensky. I'm a freelance photographer specialising in art photography with a strong passion for documentary and storytelling.

Whilst being conscripted into the military back in 2009 (2009-2012) I was fortunate enough to be able to do it as a photographer and there began my career. My body of work has since been published in magazines and newspapers around the world, including the BBC (TV, radio and website). National geographic (USA), The Guardian (UK) and many more. I've also had the privilege to do lectures about my work in venues such as Oxford's Natural History Museum (UK) and MGM Hotel (Macau), as well as giving two different TEDx talks on the topics of photography and the art of storytelling.

As a young photographer, I would love to continue my work but I know I cant do it alone, I'm addressing this competition in order to keep pushing and fighting to find away to create more stories and images (without the help of my parents )
