Israeli-born photographer Eilon Paz was surprised to learn during his many world travels that no one outside his home country could pronounce his name correctly. But this didn’t stop him from combing the planet—from Australia to Cuba and Argentina to Ghana—in pursuit of intriguing and memorable subjects, or from making a new home in Brooklyn, New York. Along the way, he shot for Israel’s top cultural publications as well as Wax Poetics, Saveur, Monocle, Condé Nast Traveler, Delta’s Sky magazine, and many others. He is a devout music nut and can listen to almost any genre—except dark metal, the charms of which have always evaded him. He’s also a longtime vinyl-head, smooth operator on the dance floor, and rarely seen without his black-and-white porkpie hat. He loves good food and is renowned for his spontaneous culinary masterpieces, but don’t try to put sugar in his coffee—you’ll never win.www.eilonpaz.com
