Professional photographer and TBT congregant Bob Handelman will start a new Kesher group in Feb 2024. 

Let’s explore, let’s connect, let’s tell stories. 


The best camera is the one you have with you.

It’s about your heart, mind, and eye, not the gear.

Below is how I describe my commercial photography brand, driven by a personal passion to engage in the world around me. We’ll do this in our Kesher group: connect with your interest and visually tell your story.


Story360 Discovering what may not be in focus. 

You need exceptional imagery in a curated collection. You need someone who can deliver the unexpected, the images you want, and those you don’t even know you need. That requires the willingness, curiosity, and ability to dive deep and explore, beyond a typical creative brief, shot list, or image library. When I immerse myself in a subject, a scene, an experience, I see and feel a story to be told, both captured and crafted, one frame at a time. It takes a thoughtful plan, a discerning eye, and a well-timed shutter. I help you engage your audience with memorable imagery that elicits emotion and stimulates the senses. This is who I am. This is what I do, I’d like to do this with you. With Story360, Let’s find the elusive sparkle hiding in the shadows. Let’s get inside—in between the moments—to discover what may not be in focus.
