MENTLV is an independent documentary portrait project I’ve been creating since 2014.

What began as a personal exploration, walking the streets of Tel Aviv with my camera, stopping strangers and following instinct has grown into a visual archive of men, presence, identity and the city itself.

More than 700 men have taken part in the project, each adding another layer to the story.

In 2025, MENTLV is entering a new phase, expanding into deeper conversations, short interviews, a growing body of work, and plans for a book and exhibition.

To me, it’s never just about appearance. It’s about presence  the space between how a man sees himself and how he is seen.

That’s where MENTLV lives.
