I am a freelance photographer and journalist based in Israel working for media outlets in Europe and North America. Check out www.matimilstein.com , my photography website designed by the brilliant Tel Aviv graphic artist Nirit Alshech. The staff of the top-line Bromide Imaging Services in Tel Aviv generously offered to host my images on their website . I was a participant in the House Country Space Territory Earth pavilion of the Bat Yam International Biennale of Landscape Urbanism held in April. One of my photos recently appeared in an exhibit called Olim B'omanut - Immigrants in the Arts in Bat Yam. A selection of my photographs also appeared in the exhibition "Reserves Photographing Reserves" at the Jerusalem International Convention Centre. I count among my major clients the British Embassy-Tel Aviv and the Geneva Initiative .
