Tal-Shir seduces the viewer into a world of fantasy, of transgressing into historical periods, but which are tinted with the awareness of present times. The portraits are captured, not solely to depict her subject, but to add a plus value to the whole scene, often by transference to the photographer's identity or her inner world, upon the subject, and by doing so, she creates a piece of art that is more than just a mere portrait.
Erika Tal-Shir (born 1966 Antwerp, Belgium) is a portrait and fine art photographer who, in recent years, lives and works in Ra'anana, Israel, with her family.

The portraits are captured, not solely to depict her subject, but to add a plus value to the whole scene, often by transference to the photographer's identity or her inner world, upon the subject, and by doing so, she creates a piece of art that is more than just a mere portrait.
