About Artist

Ghila Krajzman

Ghila Krajzman was born in Beer Sheva, Israel, and raised in Brussels, Belgium. She studied in the Cinema and Television Department at Tel Aviv University, then attended the Academie des Beaux-Arts de Boitsfort, where she specialized in photographic silk screening. After relocating to New York, she began working as a teacher and photographer at the Park East Synagogue School. In 2010 she became a full-time photographer, mainly in the Hasidic Community. She held her first solo exhibition, Passages, in Paris in 2018. Her images have since been shown at the 13th Julia Margaret Cameron Award (2019), the Sixth FotoNostrum Biennale (2021) in Barcelona, Spain, at the Klompching Gallery (2019), and the Relief Market Gallery (2020) in Brooklyn, USA. In 2021, her work was included in "ICP Concerned;' curated by David Campany at the International Center of Photography in New York. The same year she published images and text from her long-term project "Kiddushin" - an in-depth look at her career as a photographer of Haredi and Hasidic weddings - in The Forward. In January 2024 she had a show at RIVAA, Roosevelt Island Gallery. Her photography is held in many private collections.
