=== Career === Zeiger started with documentary photography as an autodidact. He studied in Studio Gavra School of Photography in class of Sagit Zluf Namir, graduating in 2012. His mentors included David Adika, Gaston Zvi Ickowicz and Nissan N. Perez. In April 2015, Zeiger's photograph was published on the cover of "Israeli Lens" magazine, predecessor of international "Lens Magazine".<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://issuu.com/israeliartmarket/docs/israeli_lens_issue7 |title=Israeli lens #7 - Portrait Photography |last=Navarro |first=Dafna |date=2015-04-05 |access-date=2018-12-09 |archive-date=2015-04-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150417002529/http://issuu.com/israeliartmarket/docs/israeli_lens_issue7 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2016, Igor's photograph was chosen as a poster photo for Paco Anselmi documentary film "Karam: A Matter Of Karma", screened at TLVFest.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tlvfest.com/en/?p=5046 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250117075102/https://www.tlvfest.com/en/?p%3D5046 |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 17, 2025 |title=Karam: A Matter Of Karma |website=tlvfest.com |access-date=2019-01-13 }}</ref> Zeiger lives and works in Jaffa. Zeiger is Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He is also a member of Israeli Association of Visual Artists and Royal Photographic Society. Zeiger founded artistic cooperative ''Beam Collective'' together with two fellow artists Maria Rosenblatt and Erica Tal-Shir in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.beamcollective.net/about |title=Beam Collective story |access-date=2020-08-22 |archive-date=2023-04-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230406205818/https://www.beamcollective.net/about |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== Artistic style === Zeiger's work is often described as being both beautiful and disturbing. He is known for his ability to capture the raw beauty of the human form, while also exploring the darker side of human nature. Zeiger's work is challenging and thought-provoking, and it has helped to redefine the boundaries of contemporary photography. His techniques extend to capturing more than just the physical attributes of his subjects. His compositions often emphasize the emotions, vulnerabilities, and narratives inherent in human experiences. As a result, viewers are presented with more than just a visual representation, but rather a broader context of the human condition.
