Bio
Itamar Matsry
Nature has been the love of my life from an early age. Watching the animals, I saw the diversity of life, and its purity. I also saw the harsh side of the circle of life.
For years I have been reaching distant locations around the world in order to document wildlife and nature. Also, in my journeys I like to take photos that capture the place and the people, and together with the wildlife they complete the unique texture of the environment.
Beyond my personal love for wildlife, photography has given me the ability to raise awareness for wildlife and their deteriorating state in the modern world.
