"The essence of Jerusalem isn't hidden under ancient stones. It isn't masked by a cloud of mysticism and belief. The essence of Jerusalem is alive in the people that live here and in the uniqueness of each and every one – a diversified and spectacular human mosaic," he said.
"It's an unbelievable city with an amazing mosaic of people. It's the people that make the city!"
The site's first three profiles were shot in black and white and he hopes to add to them on a weekly basis.
