Hedva Rokach specializes in narrative artistic photography, capturing subjects in their authentic surroundings with natural lighting and without directing them. Her photographs have been exhibited in solo exhibitions in museums in Israel, the United States, and Georgia. She has published several art books, and her works have won awards in competitions in London, Paris, Tokyo, and Budapest. She is an honorary Board member of the Maine Jewish Museum.

Her photographic series in correctional facilities in the state of Maine, USA, was created in the summer of 2026. It led to the publication of the photography book The Maine Model: A Portrait of Corrections (published in Hebrew and English editions by Itay Bahur Publishing, 2026). The photographs portray residents and staff in their living and working environments, offering a view of everyday life in a system that combines punishment and rehabilitation. Made without staging and using existing light, the photographs also employ techniques of erasure, leaving white spaces or white silhouettes in place of the erased figures.

The photography series & is an epic, wide-ranging photographic portrait of Jewish life in Maine, commissioned by the Maine Jewish Museum. The works in the series are part of the museum’s collection. Approximately 200 photographs from the series, which explores Jewish life and identity in Maine, were exhibited in the solo exhibition There Is Always an & at the museum from March to May 2026. Approximately 100 remain on permanent display at the museum. In July 2026, a second solo exhibition featuring approximately 100 photographs from the series opened at the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine (HHRC) in Augusta, Maine. The exhibition runs through July 2027. The complete series is available on the museum’s website, on the dedicated project page.

The bilingual photography book Faces & Facets of Jewish Life in Maine, published in Hebrew and English by Itay Bahur Publishing in 2026, contains 283 photographs and encompasses most of the body of work. The album is an independent art publication. The Maine Jewish Museum and the project’s supporting organizations have initiated educational, social, and community programs using the book, including activities to combat antisemitism. With support from the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine (JCA) and the Maine Humanities Council, copies of the album will be distributed to every high school in Maine.

Her photograph series Japanese Sushi Girls was published in an album of the same name in both English and Hebrew (Itay Bahur Publishing, 2024).
