Who are you?
My name is Shlomi Bernthal, and I'm a professional Israeli photographer, located in Tel Aviv. I established my studio back in 2005, having gained extensive experience in commercial and documentary photography. My photographs were published in national advertising campaigns, newspapers, journals, book covers, brochures, packages, and of course, on internet sites. If you still didn't get a chance to browse through my online portfolio, I invite you to do it now.

Do you provide only photography services, or can you handle the entire production process?
Depending upon the needs of the client, we can focus only on photography, or we can coordinate all the production elements, including styling, makeup, hair, models, retouching, graphics, etc.
Do you have a kitchen in the studio?
Yes, there's a spacious, fully equipped kitchen in the studio.
Do you use digital equipment or film?
The studio uses the most advanced digital equipment. The photographs are delivered to the client on a disc within three business days. The file sizes are up to 100MB without compression.
Do you perform Photoshop processing on the images?
The photographs go through basic color, brightness, and contrast processing in the studio. If additional graphic work is required, such as retouching or burning, it is handed over to one of the external graphic artists we work with.
Do you safeguard client privacy?
In accordance with the client’s needs, we strictly adhere to secrecy of photos, product details, and client identity.
Where is the studio located?
The studio is located in Tel Aviv on 10 Baruch Agadati Street.
Can I drop in without an appointment?
We would appreciate it if you contact usby phone or e-mail prior to arrival.
Do you operate only in the central region of Israel?
Absolutely not – according to the needs of the project, we can travel to sites throughout Israel, as well as abroad.
How much do you charge?
We would be happy to provide a proposal, after hearing the project details over the phone, e-mail, or in a meeting – whichever is most convenient for you.
Do you shoot private events?
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate weddings, bar-mitzvahs, circumcisions, or kindergartens.
Do you shoot video?
We specialize in still photography only.
Do you shoot portfolios and portraits for private clients?
We’re happy to accept private assignments, as long as our schedule permits.
What's involved in shooting a modeling portfolio?
A modeling portfolio includes a day photo shoot, either in the studio or on location, depending on the client’s preference.
A professional makeup artist is available at the shoot throughout the day.
Also, it's possible to hire a wardrobe stylist who will provide suitable ensembles and accessories.
A hair stylist may be brought in too, but we recommend a visit to the hair salon in the morning right before the photo shoot.
