Ziv Koren is a professional Israeli photojournalist. With a successful career of thirty years, it seems as if he was “always there”, being the first to arrive at the scene and the last one to leave, all so he can uncover the truth and present to us, viewers and readers, the most accurate description of the chain of events. Koren is the voice of an era, maybe even the voice of several ones. Thanks to him, valuable information was made accessible to the masses – from events regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict to the existence and unfolding of humanitarian cases and natural disasters across the sea.
His photographs have won international awards and have been published at The New York Times, Newsweek, The Sunday Times Magazine, Stern, Der Spiegel, Paris Match, Le Figaro, Corriere Della Sera Magazine, Wired Magazine and more.
Ziv has also published his work in group exhibitions and in many traveling solo exhibitions attracting tens of thousands of people, presented in, along more, The Metropolitan Museum of Tokyo, The Memorial Museum in Spain and in The War Museum in Croatia and in The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Lately, Koren was granted the “Series of The Year” award during the Local Testimony art show for his documentation of an Israeli S.W.A.T team activity in arrests of wanted terrorists, and Koren was chosen as the 2018 Most Influential Photographer by Lens Magazine.
