Who is Avital Zemer? Not only has Avital been a long standing dedicated photographer of Chai Lifeline Canada events and programs, he also is the owner of Avital Zemer Photography. A Toronto-based photographer who loves to shoot weddings, live music, portraits, and almost everything else!

Why did Avital choose photography? “I photograph in order to capture moments and subjects that would otherwise go unnoticed. I strive to simplify or distill my subjects to their essential elements and form, to abstract them from their original context or function, to view them in a new context, and attempt to transform their meaning for the viewer. I am drawn to textures, patterns, simple lines and shapes, and am compelled to find the innate orderliness of things. I enjoy photographing my neighbourhood, my community, my family, strangers on the street, and any one else who wants their pictures taken! My hope is to reveal the extraordinary in ordinary things.”
