Yohan Beeri was born in Jerusalem, Israel, in 1971
I live and work in Jerusalem, which is a very interesting city for photographers. It is the holly place for the 3 religions, so there is a lot of character, history, and sometimes also tension. The architecture is unique in different neighborhoods from privet houses to crowded poor streets. people here are so different from each other... they dress and behave in special ways according to their beliefs and their community habits.
My formal education is B.Arch in architecture and M.Des in design, both From BEZALEL - academy of art and design. my work is designing renovation of old stone houses, yet Photography has always been a great passion for me. In 2022 I re-enrolled studies, this time in photography in MUSRARA - school in Jerusalem. in 2023 I was chosen to present a solo expedition in the academy gallery.
I shoot mainly on black and white film – 35mm and medium format, and whenever I can I like to print in the darkroom.
