Jonathan Torgovnik began his photographic career as a combat photographer in the Israeli army. During that period, he was assigned to photograph a wide range of military activities and operations in the West Bank, Gaza and Lebanon. In 1992, after traveling in the Far East, he arrived in New York and entered the photography department at the School of Visual Arts, graduated with a BFA degree and received an award for outstanding achievement in photography at graduation.
Torgovnik is now a New York based photographer, working for various American and European magazines. His images from diverse projects and assignments have appeared in numerous U.S. and international publications.
For TTP, I chose his Bollywood gallery, which propelled him into the limelight. Bollywood of course, is the informal name given to the popular Mumbai-based Hindi language film industry in India.
