About

When asked of how he has become a photographer, MAXIM REIDER often quotes the words of his far more famous colleague: “I’ve tumbled into photography just like others tumble into prostitution. At first I did it for my own pleasure, than for my friends’ pleasure, and finally – for money.” And adds: “Don’t remember who said it, but this is what has happened to many, many people. This is the story of my life, too.”

In addition to writing as a journalist in English, Hebrew and Russian, in between of taking numerous photos of his beloved and hopelessly spoiled kids, he has worked as a free lance potographer for the Israeli Opera, Opera da Camera, Israeli Philharmonic, Israeli Chamber Orchestra, Israeli Stage Orchestra, Eilat International Chamber Music Festival, Felicja Blumental International Festival, Classicameri Festival, Context and Malenky Theaters, as well as for the Israeli Air Force Magazine and RAFAEL Concern, PR agencies and private clients.
