I shot some street portraits of these wonderful officers on my last visit to Jerusalem.
I was passing by and asked them if I could take their photos, they both agreed and I shot 5-6 shots. These are the two best ones, which I’ve turned into black & white for Leanne & Laura’s «Monochrome Madness» post.

Wow! Great images.
🙂
My hubby, a former police officer, always tries to take photos with police officers when we’re on vacation. This is a very nice one.

Thanks Isadora. Awesome job. Each day is different!
Love them!!!
I agree!
Great shots. The best, the bravest.
Thank you Daily 😀
my favourite shot from Monochrome madness this week – the full portrait is very striking too
That’s a great compliment because of all the good photos in the Monochrome Madness post. Thank you very much Laura.
I thought it was another one of those staged photos sessions with models – a really nice looking force 😀
Nice looking indeed: I wouldn’t mind being arrested by her.
“I’ve been a naughty boy, now handcuff me!”
😆
Great photo , Cardinal!
Thanks 76!
Max, I do prefer the full portrait. Both are exceptional but in the full portrait the bigger contrasts come into the picture. Great work showing the world I do not know.
Thanks for the positive feedback Chris. I prefer the first one myself, because of the interaction between the two, but I see your point that there’s more contrast in the full portrait.
Well, it depends on what you wanna show Max, both are great in their own purpose!
Nice “shots”. I like the second one best.
Thank you very much Lignum.
Superb portraits!
I’m glad to hear that Robyn! 😀
Stunning photos. The monochrome makes them even better.
Thank you Marie. I also thought that these shots looked better in B&W.
I prefer the first shot because of their interaction. But what a shock to see the woman fully armed in the long shot! She still does not look intimidating but that firearm certainly does
I agree, she doesn’t look intimidating, but I guess she would seem a lot more intimidating when/if firing at you! 😀
Are they regular police or part of the IDF?
They’re regular police officers.
Great photos, CG. What a lovely looking couple they are, and so smart in their uniforms.
Yes, they’re very lovely. Beautiful officers.
Awesome Monochrome photos!
Thank you Love Happy!
Great shots, Cardinal – love the ambiguity.
Thanks for teaching me a new word (I had to look it up, my vocabulary is shit).
we’d say in French: un couple canon! 😉
un couple canon shot with Canon!
Fantastic portraits Cardinal, they both look so fit and healthy. I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of them.
Better not mess around with cops on duty 🙂
looks so candid and great smile 🙂
Thanks. Yes, lovely smiles
I like the portraits, however I am not so sure if I like the fact that these young people are carrying these big arms, but this goes for another blog entry. Your photos are awesome.
Thanks. Unfortunately the guns are necessary…
I really like your photos.
I like yours too!
these are so good.
Thanks man!
Such great photos Cardinal, I love the interaction between them in the first photo. 🙂
Me too, it feels good when you get shots like that.
Wonderful! They got the model-look – both of them. 🙂
Thanks Malin. Yes, they do. Very beautiful.
