Natan Dvir: Holidays Season
To help celebrate the holidays and because New York City represents the season like no other city, I am sharing a terrific project photographer Natan Dvir who was commissioned to create by the New York Times T Magazine. The project explores the transition of stores and hotels along Fifth Avenue as they get decorated for the holidays season.
Natan Dvir (b. 1972, Nahariya) is an Israeli photographer who focuses on the human aspects of political, social and cultural issues. He received his MBA from Tel Aviv University and his MFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts (NY), after which he became a faculty member at the International Center of Photography (ICP). Based in New York City he photographs around the world represented by Polaris Images photo agency and Anastasia Photo gallery.
