ROD BACHAR director of photography
bio
Rod Bachar has worked on dozens of documentaries,
reality shows, sport shows, commercials, webisodes,
and live performances for clients ranging from HBO to
National Geographic, from PBS to MTV.
As a Director of Photography and a Still Photographer
Rod exhibits both exceptional camera techniques and
innate storytelling instincts.
After living in New York for 15 years Rod went back to
his homeland, Israel and while still working in the US he
opened VideoStory, an Israeli production company
specialized in creative business storytelling using video & animation content.
Among his clients are banks and financial institutions,
high-tech companies, hospitals, restaurant chains,
and non-for-profit organizations.
Rod’s passion for films as well as still images led him
to pursue dual major degree in Film & Video Production
and Still Photography while going through
undergraduate studies in New York City.
He graduated in 1999 and has continued working
in both mediums ever since.
Rod’s greatest strength derives from his versatility.
He is equally capable when shooting handheld verite style,
directing multi-camera shoots, and when lighting a set.
As a still photographer Nimrod’s insatiable curiosity
and sense of adventure has led him to shoot in four
different continents on a variety of formats.
The result is a portfolio as diverse as he is.
