der weg ist das ziel - fotografie und bildbearbeitung aus leidenschaft....

hobbygraph und bilderbastler...

autodidakt ohne festen schwerpunkt...

I'm a photographer and a passionate traveler.
In the last 12 years I've visited many countries around the world, yet I always come back home to Israel, where I live.
My main interest is in street photography and the "Decisive Moment".
Wondering the streets, looking for different perspective of reality, is something to live for.

Hope you enjoy my work,
Tuval

After several years of working as a sound technician this year I got an offer from a small company to work for them as - what used to be my part-time job and hobby before - a professional graphic designer.
-
We create sets for movies, TV programmes and ads for the whole world.
-
My life is experimenting with images. I love to design.

I'm a California based photographer that comfort and solace in this otherwise anxiety-producing world by creating a sense of harmony among the seemingly unrelated, mundane data around me.

"Fotografie ist eine Leidenschaft. Sie ist die Kunst, mit Licht zu gestalten" ronny ritschel

Ronny Ritschel sagt: “Fotografie ist mehr als nur sein Equipment zu kennen. Du musst immer wieder das “Sehen” trainieren und sehr geduldig auf den passenden Moment warten um ihn aus deiner Sicht der Welt zu präsentieren. Aus diesem Grund ist Kunst auch immer etwas sehr persönliches…”

Ronny Ritschel lebt und arbeitet in Hamburg und kann bereits auf mehrere internationale und nationale Fotoausstellungen, sowie Veröffentlichungen in Printmagazinen zurückblicken. Neben seiner Arbeit als Fotograf, ist er der Herausgeber des deutschen Fotografieblogs blogtimes.info.

I grew up on the creative side of the advertising world
and had the pleasure of working with hundreds of clients
around the world; telling their unique stories in very unique ways.
Along the way, I've had the pleasure of working with an incredible number of talented photographers, directors, cinematographers and imagemakers.
I became envious of their art and craft. At first, I saw it as a means of reducing my stress-filled life.
As a Chief Creative Officer at the world's largest Advertising Agency Network, I needed a distraction.
So I bought a camera. And then another. And another.
My new hobby and daily "creative exercise regimen" quickly turned into a joy-filled and all consuming passion.

I love talking to all sorts of people and seem to have a knack for getting them to open up and share themselves
despite the intrusion and intimidation that a serious-looking camera often represents.

I like seeking out and sharing things I find interesting
Beautiful things. Powerful things. Poignant things.

I am incredibly patient and am often rewarded with moments of magic.

I also enjoy taking something ordinary and making it something well beyond that.
(To paraphrase Ansel Adams: "...making pictures, not just taking them.")
Illustration and painting are other passions and I love creating unique photocompositions.

One thing led to another and now I'm published, winning awards and having my work shown in galleries.

Happiness.

So here I am.
Open for business.
And open for any adventure that needs an image or two.

For me everything began with the love for traveling and the wish to ban the unknown and fascinating - people, landscapes, situations - in pictures. Meanwhile I am a freelance photographer working in the fields of people and fashion as well as nature and urban/ urbex. Whats left is the love for strong composition and mostly decent colours. And I like the little strange, absurd and bizarre things for their beauty.
