Make Room For The New Tel Aviv
This fine art photograph captures a striking urban tension between luminous high-rise facades and the improvised textures of the foreground. Shot on paper in a soft evening palette, the composition balances geometry, light, and social contrast, creating a contemporary city image that feels both elegant and quietly unsettling.
Thomas Schlijper
Thomas Schlijper is a celebrated street photographer capturing the pulse of modern city life across (previously) Amsterdam and (currently) Tel Aviv. Schlijper is perhaps best known for his monumental, ongoing daily photo project, which has run unbroken since 2000. His work is characterized by a keen eye for the extraordinary within the ordinary—transforming brief interactions, urban architecture, and transient light into permanent visual stories. Whether documenting the historic streets of the Amsterdam or the vibrant coastal energy of Tel Aviv, Schlijper’s photography remains deeply human, candid, and endlessly curious.
