Rafael Yossef Herman (born 1974 in Be'er Sheva רפאל י. הרמן) is an artist best known for his breakthrough photography project ''Bereshit - Genesis''. Recalling the Genesis Creation story, this photography research project, of Israeli desert Negev trees, marked for the first time in photography history, a ''nocturnes photos'' that looks like taken in day light, using just the "moon-light", with no electronic or digital manipulation. The night, like never seen before, with monochromatic but full colored of its "colors of the night". This lighted night, nearly divined, without shadow, creates a new surreal reality, one that our eye can not see and does not know. The Bereshit project was exposed for the first time to public in Dec. 2006, in Milano Italy, in the prestigious "Sala delle Cariatidi" 〔Corriere Della Sera, (Curriere Della Sera Review ), November 2006.〕 of Palazzo Reale's museum of art. Bereshit photos, were one out of four fragments of Israel, that Rafael showed, under the title ''Magà''. The exhibition attracted the attention of the public and media, and above all, of the Milan's assessor of culture, Vittorio Sgarbi, that wrote: "...His images are mirror of Creation, beyond which there is no more to say, revelation that only conceives the contemplative dimension, mixing spirit, mystery and material. Like this Herman wins the darkness." This occasion brought to Herman the invitation present the project to Pompidou Center, Paris. In November 2007, in a personal exhibition titled Bereshit, in Studio Guastalla, Rafael Y. Herman discovered by the prestigious art historian, writer and collector Arturo Schwarz that wrote on Herman's project〔Conference - The Light of the Creation (Images from Arturo Schwarz conference ) February 6, 2008.〕 "...this black light, is the responsible of the intense poetical aura, of this photos serial...". Newspaper and Magazine titled the exhibition like; The Voice Of The Moon (Arte), Symbolic Research (Elle), The Trees Of Herman (TG), The Beginning Of All (Bolletino). During this exhibition period, Rafael lost his father Maxim (b. 1937 Bucharest d. 2007 19 Kislev ) just before finishing to write a documentary/romance book on his father's family story during the second world war.
