What brought you to photographing the ultra-Orthodox community?
My photographic interest in the Hasidic world began with my curiosity in the resurgence of belief in Kabbalah.
As a journalist, I wanted to explore how Israelis were being drawn to this esoteric belief system. The person who helped me with access to this project comes from a very prominent Chasidic family.
As work progressed on the Kabbalah project, my chasidic ‘fixer’ would suggest that I come along to various events at his community where ultimately, I built relationships which allowed me to photograph more and more of the Chasidic way of life.
