At the age of 18, Dror joined in the Israeli Army and served his country for three years. While in the army, he was in charge of physical training. He implemented a strenuous workout that was incorporated with their military training. After leaving the army he went right back to the gym, and trained intensely for the Mr. Israel competition.

Dror says: "I had a great time working with John. He's very professional. We shot on the beach in Santa Monica - a great place to shoot. I met a bunch of cool guys that were also there for the shoot. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer to contact John." View Photo Portfolio Site Created & Hosted by MetroHost.Com
