As a photographer for The New York Times, Rina Castelnuovo has witnessed two decades of discord in Israel and has endeavored to document the human cost of political strife in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In confronting the tensions in the region, she has developed a style that probes the personal reality behind the political façade. Castelnuovo's intention is to be as unobtrusive as possible. Her compassion is evident in the private moments she photographs, in which she captures the soul of her subjects in places ranging from army bases to Israeli settlements. Having spent nearly her entire adult life in Israel, Castelnuovo possesses a deep cultural understanding of the land and its people. Her ability to elegantly capture in a photograph the current situation in Israel is equal to none.
