Born 1972 in Ukrain, in the former Soviet Union, Felix Lupa is a second generation photographer. A freelancer since 1995, he is working with Israel’s leading newspapers and on long-term social projects for magazines and television. Specialized in reportage, documentary, he presented a number of local and international exhibitions. Lately he has decided to dedicate himself to street photography, in which he wants to serve as a “public eye”, conveying to us messages of the street’s wisdom.

About his work, of which the Urban War Doves series is an example, Lupa says: “The workspace of a street photographer consists of constantly changing population groups. They are continuously on the move, changing day by day, each one having its own purpose and target. The ability to constantly cope with this human flux, and mastery of the language of each group (at times even of a single individual) are necessary if you want to understand people’s behavior and the rules that shape it. A lot of time, patience, and a great deal of contacts with different, strange people are necessary until one acquires the ability to maneuver successfully in the street, inside people’s private territory”.
