Sharon Gabay is a portrait and headshot photographer with deep experience alongside politicians, business leaders and artists. Hundreds of public figures have been photographed in his studio. His work is defined by a profound understanding of expression, composition and precise lighting, tailored to the message and the goal.
Sharon is the author of six widely recognized photography books.

His latest book, "Jerusalemites," is a trilingual visual essay (Hebrew, English, Arabic) documenting 15 years of street photography in Jerusalem — a moving human archive of the city's mosaic in all its contrasts.
His work has been shown in solo exhibitions and respected galleries in Israel and around the world, including New York, Montreal, Washington and Santo Domingo.
