The first time Yaakov Herevon had his own camera was at age 12 when his father gave him Russian camera, a copy of the German Leica. Yaakov is Otto - didactic and learned to shoot by himself by reading books and by trial and error in the open. When digital equipment came into the world, Yaakov also started with those Cameras. As the equipment became better than the results were better. To keep informed of new technologies of digital cameras, Yaakov in 2010 took part at "Camera Obscura" course for advanced photographers. The motto accompanying the photographs of Yaakov is the immediate environment. "What man loses near him when he run forward with a view to the horizon." Yaakov Herevon is not taking pictures in the studio and not stagey. His photograph not only catches the nature, environment, garden city at the moment, moreover brings new life to the object being photographed. The close-ups give the object photographed many interpretations and sometimes difficult to identify the source. Yaakov had solo exhibition and participated in joint exhibitions in Israel and abroad.
