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.
