ABOUT ME

Sharon Pery is the mother of three wonderful grown children, an interior designer for luxury homes for more than twenty-five years, a therapist specializing in crises, trauma and stress through subconscious methods, a dancer and a photographer. Alongside her professional work, her sources of inspiration also include cooking and extreme sports.

For more than twenty years, photography has accompanied her life, and in recent years it has become a deep and central part of her personal and professional identity. Her artistic work is born from the connection between observation, emotion and movement. As someone who works with therapy and the exploration of the human soul, she brings to the camera an intimate and sensitive gaze, searching for what lies beyond the visible face.

For Sharon, photography is not merely the documentation of a moment, but an attempt to touch the deeper layers of a person, to recognize the story, the pain, the strength and the quiet within.

Over the years, she has traveled and photographed cultures across many countries and continents. Her first photographic journey to India, about twenty years ago, was documented in a photography book titled Eye of a Woman, which was previously sold in Tzomet Sfarim bookstores, and in an exhibition dedicated to that journey.

Since then, she has never stopped photographing, and photography has become an increasingly meaningful, profound and central part of her life. Wherever she traveled, she connected with people, sat with them, listened, observed, and tried to understand how they live and what moves them. From these encounters her photographs are born: a journey into cultures, but above all into the human soul.

Alongside her cultural photography, Sharon also photographs in Israel, focusing especially on movement, dance and portraiture. As a dancer, she is drawn to the moment in which body and soul meet. In her work, turmoil and quiet, passion and tenderness, strength and vulnerability exist side by side.

Through the camera, she seeks to create a deep human connection and to remind us that even at the farthest edges of the world, we all share similar emotions, longings and stories.
