Alexander Bronfer is an Israeli photographer and visual artist working primarily with long-term photographic projects.
His work explores the relationship between human presence and nature — how people live within, shape, and adapt to the environments around them. Rather than approaching photography as documentation alone, he is interested in the aesthetic experience of a place and in how an image can transmit that experience to another person.
His projects have developed over many years and across very different landscapes, from the Dead Sea and the edge of the desert to Venice and rural France.
Bronfer is the author of the photobook Under Sodom Mountain, an eight-year project around the Dead Sea. He is also an instructor at Leica Akademie Italy, where his workshops focus on visual perception, aesthetics, and developing an individual photographic voice.
