“In the end it came down to the contrasts and the colors,” says photographer YOSSI MICHAELI of his first shoot for CITY, “Blue Monday” (page 64). “I found myself in a blue hotel and I wanted to go with an idea that would enhance the blue of the environment.” A native of Tel Aviv, Israel, Yossi spent several years in Brazil studying photography and learning Portuguese. He’s shot for Trace, Planet, and
H. Stern, and splits his time between New York City and
São Paolo.
