AUTHOR: Kyrylo Matukhno (Israel)

Menahem Kirill Matukhno (also known as Kirill Matukhno) is a Tel Aviv–based professional photographer and the founder of ArtPixxel Photography. With more than 15 years behind the camera, he focuses on premium weddings and high-end celebrations across Israel, creating refined visual narratives for clients who value discretion, aesthetics and impeccable service.

His black-and-white work is built around light, gesture and atmosphere, reducing each scene to its essential emotional core. Rather than directing moments, he observes them—anticipating quiet transitions, subtle interactions and the architecture of a space as it shapes the story. This approach results in images that feel timeless, graphic and deeply human.

ArtPixxel’s process combines classic craftsmanship with a modern, reliable workflow, delivering cohesive bodies of work with consistent tonality and strong narrative flow. Fluent in Russian, Hebrew and English, he collaborates closely with each couple to ensure the experience remains calm, premium and personal from the first conversation to the final delivery.
