ניקול דה קסטרו - פשוט צלמת
Photography was always present in my childhood. My father an amateur photographer, took on photography in Egypt when he was only eleven, working all summer in a local Cinema to pay his first camera.
That passion he had never became more than that, but it found it's way to me, watching him carefully taking pictures and filming with his 8mm, sorting pictures, editing home movies, asking tons of questions about lenses, exposure.
At the age of thirteen he bought me my first SLR camera, two lenses and an external flash.
Since, my camera became an inseparable part of my life.
That passion for photography grew as I fell in love with capturing candid moments in time. Those brief and shining moments that mostly go unnoticed but make life truly wonderful!
Discovering the use of light, lenses, colour and B&W, I became passionate about photographing people, my family and friends, then my schoolmates, young actors, on stage, on movie sets…later on I discoverd the magic of weddings photography, catching a bride's look while getting ready for her wedding day, the look on a groom's face as his bride walks down the aisle, the delight in a child's eyes as his parents interact with him.
There is something simply fulfilling about capturing those special moments forever with my camera. I love providing people with beautiful images that take them back in time to those moments.

"When I'm holding up my camera I feel alive...almost invincible"

I was born in Italy and came to Israel when I was sixteen.
I have been living and working here since.
I speak Italian, Hebrew, English and French.
