Yossi Schori

A toy photographer and digital artist based in Israel.

I create images using toys: soft stuffed animals & plush toys, wooden toys, figurines, antique and vintage toys & dolls, in my home or outdoors using creative sets.
I edit my images in Lightroom and Photoshop using layers of photos and occasionally also a combination of digital drawings.
Influenced by animation, surrealism, fine art photographers, and “Toy Photography”.
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.

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.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.
