Tel-Avivi, a city portrait

In pictures: In honor of summer's end, Ido Biran presents an urban portrait of Tel Aviv and its beaches two years in the making. Photographing Tel Aviv and its dynamic landscapes and people from various positions, Biran presents a unique view of Tel Aviv summer life; 'Tel Aviv without a beach is an entirely different city.'

During the project "Tel Avivi," an city portrait I've been working on for the past two years, the place I found myself in the most was the beach. It has energy, it symbolizes freedom, it undergoes changes throughout the seasons and it attracts all manner of characters. There is no doubt it's one of the most popular things to do in the city, and it helps make the city what it is. Tel-Aviv without a beach is an entirely different city.

 

 

At the foot of the Hilton hotel, there are two beaches and both are perfect for surfing. The southern beach is also near the foot of the Carlton. Some call it the Carlton beach. However, surfers call it "Hilton A" and the northern beach "Hilton B." (Photo: Ido Biran) (Photo: Ido Biran)

One of the things I love to photograph (and of course, eat) are popsicles. Especially the old-fashioned popsicles that take me back to the 80s. Before the sophisticated popsicles of today, with pecan shavings or special flavors like tahini, we had chocolate, chocolate-banana and multi-flavored. Simple is good.

The beautiful Jaffa port recently underwent a massive renovation. In front of the port is a breakwater, which can be reached by climbing a fence. The risk of being caught is worth the stunning view. (Photo: Ido Biran) (Photo: Ido Biran)

The view of the sea from the Neve Tzedek Tower. In the photo, you can see the neighborhood and the famous Suzanne Dellal house. I love to photograph the city (and the sea) from above and look for numerous bird's eye views. Sometimes it's from office towers, construction sites or apartments of friends.
