ABOUT ME
My name is Meir Gur.
I'm a dog photographer from Israel, and I am 38 years old.
For the past 9 years, photographing dogs, this is my main work along with teaching and helding photography workshops for advanced and beginners.
Instead of telling about myself, I invite you to take a look at the variety of galleries on my website and let my photos speak for me.
My two greatest passions are photography and teaching, and for this reason, I would love to see you at my next workshop!
