The artist behind UGLYMOMO

Tal Mor

To color life, to diversify reality

Tal Mor is a photographer, entrepreneur, and multidisciplinary artist. His personal, professional, and artistic inspirations, combined with an adventurous spirit that drives him to explore diverse landscapes in Israel and around the world through the lens, come together in the photography of UGLYMOMO. His images open a vibrant window into different perspectives—both grounded and aerial—filling the space with color, and capturing moments of freedom and experience that add variety to life

In the past, he lived in Amsterdam for 12 years, where he studied filmmaking and created short films, some of which participated in festivals. Throughout his career as an entrepreneur and artist, he has continued to pursue creative work, constantly learning new techniques in photography, graphic design, video editing, visual effects, motion graphics, and fashion photography

Between Two Dreams

Between the Tel Aviv boy who dreamed of becoming a pilot and the artist who longed for his works to bring light and color into people’s living and workspaces, run many lines that shape Tal Mor’s inspirations. With a mother who was an iconic model, the late Pinchi Mor, he grew up in the spotlight of the late 70s and 80s in Israel.

Alongside a life filled with lights, fashion, design, and aesthetics, Tal also experienced the heavy shadows cast by those same lights. He lost his beloved mother at a young age, and a few years later, his father as well, after they both faced complex health challenges. The contrasts of light and shadow that enveloped his life, combined with an endless curiosity, creativity, sharp mind, and passion for the visual arts, shaped him into the photographer he is today.
