Adi Barkan

Adi Barkan

Adi Barkan is an Israeli fashion photographer and model agent who has campaigned for legislation banning the use of anorexic models.

Barkan worked as a fashion photographer for fifteen years in Paris, London and New York, before returning to Israel in 1998 to open his own modelling agency. After speaking on television about his experience with an anorexic model, Barkan was deluged by telephone calls from girls and young women suffering from anorexia. This experience persuaded him to require all of his models to submit to BMI exams to demonstrate their physical health and lack of an eating disorder. Working with Member of Knesset Inbal Gavriely, he successfully submitted legislation to the Knesset in December, 2004, requiring all modelling agencies in Israel to use the BMI exam.
