Hello to all,

Welcome to my fourth newsletter! It has been a really busy few months, and I am excited to update you on my progress and share a couple special offers on purchasing my work.

Since my last newsletter, my portrait, "1700", was selected for exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London as part of the prestigious Schweppes Photographic Portrait Prize. Then, I was surprised and excited to learn I had been selected by U.S. gay magazine, OUT, for its list of the"100 Must Intriguing Gay People of 2003". Also, Australia's top gay photography journal, Blue, featured a glimpse of my latest project "Intimacy" in a gallery spread.

I hope you enjoy reading my latest newsletter, and I appreciate everyone's ongoing support. An extra thanks to those who have become members of my website.

  "Kobi Israel VIEWS" - Soon out of stock and fast becoming collector's item

Just 6 months after its release, VIEWS, Kobi's debut photography book, is almost out of stock . As no second edition is planned for the book, copies will quickly become collector's items.		    
 
 
     
 

According to Kobi, "That the book has been a bestseller in a gay marketplace, where sometimes books with a serious pictorial narrative don't do as well, is wonderful. I am even more delighted that VIEWS has crossed over from the gay market onto mainstream photography. I am extremely grateful to the thousands of people who bought the first edition of my book and made it such a big success!"
