Sima Ariam
Born in Jerusalem and residing in New York City, Sima Ariam is a successful psychologist and event photographer whose work - whether executed on a large or small scale - draws the viewer close to her subjects. Her unique style of intuitive, unstaged, larger-than-life 30" x 40" C print portraits reflect to the viewer intimate inner aspects of her subjects. Her smaller impressions, from her travels in Southeast Asia, magnify and engage the beauty and depth of meaning she observes in the people, culture and land.
