I have been photographing since a very young age.

Since 1993, I have been carrying a camera anywhere I go. This was way before everyone got a camera built-in to their cellphone.

I’m not a professional photographer and none of my photos are reworked or edited.

My first photo exhibition, titled “Photographing Life”, took place in 2005, in Mountain View, California. 44 photos were exhibited.

Since 2008 until today, I have photographed over 10,000 photos in Esalen, Big Sur, California.

In 2012, I have submitted 46 of them to a contest. 3 of them were selected to be included in Esalen’s new website.

Since 2013, I had several photos featured in the Esalen workshop catalog, and 10 photos printed on blank greeting cards. They are available for purchase at Esalen's Book Store, or by contacting me at reuven@reuvenshelef.com or at +1(415)359-7062.
