Daniel Rolider is an Israeli photojournalist whose work focuses on the relationship between humans and nature, illuminating environmental and social issues. Apart from photographing and producing several long-term projects in Israel, the US, and Europe, Rolider has been a freelance contributor to the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, ESPN, the Smithsonian Magazine, Stern, Getty Images, Die Zeit, Libération, NZZ, Deseret Magazine, and Haaretz.

In 2018, Rolider collaborated with the Inside Out initiative of the French artist JR, creating a portrait series of the Jewish and Muslim population in his hometown and the neighboring town, Basmat-Tivon. This project, which included pasting large-scale posters in the public sphere, was exhibited as a site-specific art installation at the Sheikh Abreik Festival and was covered by the Israeli Kan News channel.

In 2019, Rolider attended the Eddie Adams workshop and graduated from ICP's Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism program, where he was awarded the Director’s Fellowship. During his studies, he produced a long-term project about the carriage horses of New York City and their famed subculture, which was published in National Geographic, awarded in the PDN Photo Annual and PX3, and shortlisted for the Alexia Foundation Student Grant. A year later, Rolider was nominated for the Joop Swart Masterclass of the World Press Photo, shortly before finishing a three-year project on the agriculture of Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands, which was developed into a photo essay for the Smithsonian Magazine.

In January 2021, Rolider worked on a collaborative documentary project with Eritrean asylum seekers in the Hadar neighborhood, with the support of the Haifa Museum. During the project, he continued to cover the protests against Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the riots in Sheikh Jarrah, and the outbreak of violence between Jewish and Arab Israelis.
