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. 

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 Rod’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.
