My name is Ofer Yakov. At 29 years old, I established myself as a photographer and director in Los Angeles, leading my media production company, "The Giant Bird." Throughout my career, I've managed, directed, and produced video and photo campaigns for iconic brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Red Bull, Moto GP, InMode, DJI, and Omega. Additionally, I have had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed creative agencies like Open Influence, White Label, and Rinck Advertising—a partnership I am committed to fostering in the coming years Education is another passion of mine. I regularly lecture students about the art of photography, instilling in them the importance of dreaming big and taking risks to achieve greatness. My work has been recognized in several photography competitions. Among my proudest achievements are securing first place in the National Geographic Israel contest in 2019 and earning second place the following year. I'm also active on social media, where I connect with a community of around 50k followers. Most of them share my passion for photography, with a particular interest in extreme sports. Through my platform, I aim to inspire and educate, emphasizing the beauty and importance of visual storytelling. Website: www.thegiantbird.co Instagram: www.instagram.com/ofer_yakov
