Shlomo Narinsky (1885–1960) was a photographer who was born in the village of Abyan in Ukraine, at that time part of Southern Russia. As a child he studied painting in Moscow photography in Berlin and Paris in 1904-1905. When he came back to Russia after finishing his studies, he immigrated to Palestine to open a photography studio in Jerusalem called "Photographic Unity" with Yaakov Hotimsky in 1906. While he was there he made a postcard collection of Palestine. It is the works of European photographers of the 19th century that influenced Narinsky's photography works. When World War I came he was exiled to Egypt where he first worked in photography in Alexandria and then in Cairo. He then moved to Paris in 1932 and opened another photography studio. In World War II he was interned in the detention camps in San Denny and Drancy and was released in 1944 as part of a prisoner exchange. He then returned to Palestine after his exile ended and settled in Kibbutz Ein Harod.[1][2]
