Oded Yedaya (born 1949) is a photographer and multidisciplinary artist, founder and director of the Minshar School of Art. Yedaya was born and raised in Kibbutz Hanita, served as an officer in the elite Sayeret Matkal unit, and studied photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York. He began his artistic career in the 1980s, after returning from his studies, focusing at that time mainly on family photography. During this period, he published his first photography book and exhibition under the title Personal Document. His work is characterized by the integration of handwritten or printed texts layered onto his photographs. In his recent work, Yedaya explores the political role of photography.
