The Harem of Ben Sultan

A wild year has passed for Ben Sultan, one of the most talented and busiest actors in Israel’s television and film industry. Sultan broke into our lives in the series Alumim, then moved on to prominent roles in Madrasa, Border Police, Full Speed, Bad Boy, and as the star of Kan’s Hooligans, which is returning for a second season. These days he stars in Hazi & Sons, HOT’s new telenovela. For a while, he was appearing simultaneously across several channels and on Netflix. We had been talking about this production for nearly six months before he finally found a day in his relentless schedule. He is television’s hottest name in Israel, and soon he will break into cinema in a leading role. An extraordinary pace for a good Jerusalem boy who is only twenty two. Wait, we haven’t even talked about beauty. That’s what the pictures are for, isn’t it? Enjoy.

David & Jonathan

In the book of Joshua, the story of the love between King David and Jonathan is mentioned. “Your love for me is wonderful, more than the love of women,” it is written there. This is the only instance in the Holy Scriptures where a love story between men is recounted. Both of them had many women, yet the love between them was stronger than all of that.

Shon Amsalem, Up Close

Shon Amsalem is the kind of actor who does not need to raise his voice to command the frame. After television series, stage work and roles that are beginning to mark him as one of the most intriguing young names here, he steps into an intimate, cinematic and precise fashion editorial. Between soft tailoring, open shirts and deep red, a new masculinity is quietly taking shape. Sensitive, sharp, magnetic and unapologetic. Just before everything gets bigger.

Avner Tuag, After the Lights Come On

A fashion editorial born at the point where cinematic memory meets a creative artist at a precise moment in his career. Avner Tuag appears before the camera without disguise, turning the camera into another way of telling the truth, in a quiet, exposed, almost unmediated language.

Between Sacred and Secular

Shavuot 5786 meets Israeli identity in the space between sacred and secular, Torah and life. Through layers of clothing, Jewish symbols, and a contemporary visual language, the body becomes a place where seventy faces seek to meet, connect, and remind us that there is room for everyone around one table, in one country, without giving up identity.

The New Life of Harel Lissman

Harel Lissman, starring in the leading role in the musical West Side Story, brings presence, masculinity, and emotion to this fashion editorial. Between the frames, a personal and moving moment emerges around love and a new beginning. The couple’s twins have just entered the world, bringing with them a love impossible to explain in words. The kind only children can give.

Tamir Levy, Like You’ve Never Seen Before

In the latest season of The Next Star for Eurovision, Tamir Levy arrived with a nature party style, flowing layers, and a look built on freedom and movement. In this photo series, we return him to a setting of water, earth, and green. This time he is dressed in tailored designer pieces, set within all that greenery. He presents a clean, precise silhouette. Suits in nature, meticulous designer craftsmanship, quiet fashion that holds the frame in soft light. The space is open, the lines sharpen, and his presence takes on new depth.

Couture on the Edge

A fashion production that places men’s couture at the heart of an abandoned structure, dismantling the classic image of masculinity through fur, sheer fabrics, and bold silhouettes. The contrast between ruin and elegance creates a sharp, European visual language that is self aware. This is not only aesthetics. It is a statement about power, softness, and control at the same time. He is not the man we grew up with. He is the man we chose to become. Fur instead of armor. Sheer fabric instead of uniforms. Leopard print instead of grey. And within all of it, absolute control.

Shon Bello. The Heart

I didn’t know Shon Bello until I watched the moving film about his brother, Matan. Something there hit me hard and made me stop. Precisely because of the small moments. You see Shon being there. Truly. A brother who holds. A brother who listens. A brother who does not leave. Some people’s hearts walk ahead of them. With Shon, you feel it immediately. His generosity is simply there. In love. In gentleness. In a warmth that calms. That is why it mattered to me that this story be clean and precise. To give him his own space. And to remind us of something no less important. Shon is a musician and an actor. He has work. He has a path. He has real craft. That is the whole point for me. Not who Shon Bello is in front of the camera, but who he is away from it.

Nature. Presence. Daniel

A series of images marking Daniel’s return to the frame after serving in an elite unit. Shot in lush green nature, clean and precise, it leaves room for presence, effortlessly. It’s hard to understand why a beauty like this was kept away from the lens for so long, but now he’s here, inside and out. Maybe that’s exactly why there’s something different about him, a quiet confidence, a gaze that isn’t looking for noise, only truth.

Yuval Slijper Plays the Tel Aviv Field

Yuval Slijper steps into the Tel Aviv streets as an actor. Not a role. Not a performance. Presence. Within the city’s constant movement, the body responds to rhythm, glance, and pause. Fashion design by Maoz Dahan defines the silhouette, layered with precise street elements. Everything feels natural, restrained, sharp.

Yam Refaeli.
A Different Pace

Yam Refaeli is known as a voice that blends emotion with presence. In this editorial, he momentarily sets music aside, allowing gaze, body, and silence to lead. Between natural light and composed shadow, a different rhythm emerges, internal and restrained. This is not a performance. It is a study in presence.

Lift Your Head.
You Are Wonderful.

At 20, he was already a huge star. He won so many hearts. A gifted creator who released albums filled with major hits and collected countless awards. The choice was his: remain the nation’s sweetheart or step into the unknown. He chose his truth. The remarkable singer who won The Masked Singer made brave decisions. Shai Gabso set out on a journey led by talent. He wrote plays, acted on television and in theater, and never stopped creating and singing in his own way. Today, after a journey through the highs and lows of his inner world, he is at a peak. At 40, he brought new life into the world and released an excellent new album. The boy who shouted “Good evening, Nitzanim” became a man, and the wonder remained!
