On this episode of What The Falafel, Jewish photographer Blake Ezra reflects on life, identity, purpose and the events that shape who we become! Blake was on a gap year in Israel during the second intifada when a terrorist attack happened nearby. That moment changed the course of his life. In the aftermath, he began asking himself a very simple but profound question: if we only get one life, what do we actually want to do with it?That question has followed him through an extraordinary career as a photographer, taking him from news photography and the Middle East to photographing royalty, celebrities, weddings, Holocaust survivors and some of the most intimate moments in people’s lives.But this conversation goes far beyond photography. We talk about fear, uncertainty, following your gut, and building a meaningful life!Subscribe to What The Falafel for more conversations about Jewish life, identity, resilience and finding joy!→ Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wtfalafelpodcast/ → Host: https://www.instagram.com/jodiebrandman/ → Partnered with Jewish News: https://www.instagram.com/jewishnews/→ Find Blake on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blakeezraphoto/?hl=enSponsors:→ Pukush: https://pukush.com/Chapters:00:00 What got Blake started05:33 Sponsored Advert: Pukush11:00 Gap year in Israel14:30 Photography23:00 Legacy26:00 Becoming a Coach32:40 Capturing emotions43:00 Diverse Living51:00 Marriage + Music Videos59:00 Creativity
