Gilad's Journal

Hello my friends,
You may recall my picture "Tel Aviv Dance".
I submitted it in April and described the campaign it was taken for.
Almost four months later the campaign is published with $11 million ad campaign — the Israel ministry's largest ever — that suggests visitors will "love Israel from the first 'Shalom.' ".
I get a lot of feedback for it, and it is very exiting to be in the center of all that. I feel very proud of the work I did as a photographer, and even more of the work as I did as an Israeli. I had the possibility to help Israel in a global effort to show it's beautiful face. I would have never dreamt a few years ago to be in this position, so I am really honored. Just wanted to share it with you.
I want to thank the ones that left me notes and comments about seeing the ads and billboards all over. You are my ears and eyes all over. You are a part of my success.

New York Times article about the campaign
