About Dave Bender

Professional event and editorial photography, video, editing, and mentoring services, with satisfied clients and pupils worldwide. Contact me for bookings and collaboration. Quality prints are available! Portfolio: Background: Lots of dirt under my fingernails on both sides of the camera and mike. As a talented photographer and voice-over talent, and former journalist, I can do end-to-end multimedia feature packages; live radio two-ways; manage an online news page, including editing and posting stills and video clips. Tenacious in pursuit of the best shots, and tweaking images for optimum delivery. Fly-on-the-wall listener and observer. Having lived in Israel for nearly 40 years, my all-platform media portfolio includes assignments as a local and US news-bureau chief, conflict correspondent and reporter for international radio, TV, print and online news media. In addition to photography and videography, I have served as an editor and translator, summarizing and voicing online broadcasts, podcasts, and video features for a range of private and corporate clients. My mother tongue is English, and I speak, read and write fluent Hebrew. In 2007, I was recognized by the Georgia Associated Press Broadcasters Association for Best Specialized Reporting, and, in 2009, for Best Team Investigative Reporting.
