[Python] reading an image with cv2.imread vs matplotlib.pyplot.imread [duplicate]

I am trying to read and show a photo, it works when I use plt.imshow(..) and I know for sure that the photo and the path are ok.

when I try using cv2 it says the photo is a nonetype

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import cv2

img=cv2.imread(r'C:\Users\shayf\OneDrive\שולחן העבודה\Work\CV Course\OneDrive_1_12-4-
2024\images\tulips.jpg')
plt.imshow(img[:,:,::-1])


I know plt is for RGB and cv2 is for BGR.

It doesn't work when I try to use cv2.imread either.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance!
