Yossi Schori Photography & Digital Art

The year 2023. A year in which I tried to touch on topics such as the killing of animals, connecting cultures, self-identity, animal connection, duplication and the integration of artificial intelligence. In addition to dealing with studio lighting and natural lighting.

Year 2022. It was a year in which I set myself new challenges. Photographing wooden toys underwater, photographing visual effects (e.g. rain, confetti), long-exposure photography.
A year in which the series "Underwater Dreams" was awarded in Neutral Density Photography Awards, with honorable mention in fine art (photo manipulation category) and was exhibited at the “Ben Ami” gallery group exhibition in Tel-Aviv.

Year 2001. Past and future come together. Connections between photography and painting, between the pleasant memory of the past and the journey of self-search of now and future, hidden within it new wonders and challenges.

Year 2020. The year that started the Covid-19 pandemic. Something that brought back my passion to create, to return to my art after many years of break.
I started taking pictures of a chair and shoe on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, but returned to my initial connection to toys and dolls. From painting to photography. First I shot with an iPhone camera and then with a Canon 80D camera that my parents bought me.
A tough year. Feelings of loneliness, anxiety, uncertainty, hope, friendship and passion were mixed up.
Here are some of the photos I took (which can be seen on my Instagram and on my website):

Digital artworks from 1998 were made with softwares: Animator Pro, Painter and Photoshop, using my Wacom Intuos 6×8 Tablet, UMAX scanner and Video Capture.
I created an imaginative world rich in eroticism, surrealistic characters, aliens and undersea creatures.

Black & white photos I took when I was a student at "Kalisher" school of art in Tel-Aviv, 1993.
I kept all of the stuffed animal toys I have, back then, with me in my home.

2 drawings from "Thelma Yellin" high school of art in Givatayim, 1990.
The "cat" and the "Bunny" are still with me, in my working room.

Toys and dolls are a fun game. They are a showcase that reflects the social and cultural environment in which we are. Through them a gate was opened to the world of my imagination, fantasies, passions and dreams.

Hello, new friends!👋
Welcome to my new page.
Here is my story about my artworks:
I create digital artworks using toys and dolls as the front subject and by using Photoshop, Lightroom and digital techniques to express my imaginary world, emotions and fantasies.
Influenced by Surrealism and by Disney animation, I started to paint stuffed animal toys in 1990 when I was at “Thelma Yellin” high school of art in Givatayim.
In 1993, I took some shots of toys as a fine art student at “Kalisher” school of art in Tel-Aviv.
After art school studies, I took a break from creating fine art.
2020 was the year of the Covid-19 pandemic. My love and passion with toys has never gone away. I started shooting toys and objects with my iPhone and Canon 80D, and I am not going to stop. My artworks are wonderful way to express my journey of life, having fun with playing, diving into my complexity of my world.
