רבקה קובלסקי עלתה לארץ משיקגו בשנת 1985 עם בעלה יוסי.אם לשישה, שהיא גרה באפרת סמוך לירושלים.

רבקה אהבה את הצילום מאז היא לקחה קורס תיכון. תשוקתה גדלה, במיוחד לאחר שלמד צילום בשחור ולבן.

רבקה ממשיכה בעבודת חדר חושך בסטודיו הפרטי שלה. עם הרצון העז שלה כדי להישאר בחוד החנית של התחום שלה, רבקה העזה לתוך העולם המרתק של הדמיה דיגיטלית, תוך שמירה על העניין והאהבה שלה בהיבטים רבים כל כך של צילום, סרט וג

I've been a photographer for over 25 years and I never needed to learn video.

No client was waiting for it. My business didn't depend on it.

So I sat in an art school classroom a few years ago and learned it anyway, simply because I was curious. And, I was so excited

What I found changed the way I see my own photography. New video is up now, first in a three part series.

Five brothers. Five bar mitzvahs. One "lucky" photographer who's been there for every single one.

This past Thursday, I photographed Jonah's bar mitzvah, the youngest of five brothers, and the last chapter in a story I've had the privilege of documenting from the very beginning.

There's something that happens when you photograph the same family again and again. You stop being just "the photographer." You become part of the story.

By the time you reach the youngest, something shifts. You're not just capturing a boy becoming a man, you're capturing the closing of a circle.

This is what I mean when I say I photograph meaningfully. Not just posed portraits. Not just technically correct shots. I aim to photograph continuity. Legacy. The pictures will tell the whole story.

Because five bar mitzvahs from one family isn't just a photography job. It's five chapters of a family's life, entrusted to me, one at a time.

Do you want just photographs, or do you want your story told?

If you're looking for a photographer who doesn't just show up for the event, but shows up for YOU, let's talk.

The DJI Mic Mini is one of my favorite tools, but let's be honest about the one thing that's always bugged me: that quarter-inch cord. It has to run from the receiver into the camera jack every single time, and the case doesn't even fit it. It's the kind of small annoyance that adds up when you're moving fast and trying to just capture the moment.
Insta360 just solved it. Their new Mic Pro Camera Adapter is a hot shoe attachment; the receiver clicks right in. No cord, nothing to lose, nothing to fumble with. Just simple.
This is what I love about Insta360. It's never just one product. It's a whole ecosystem built around making things easier, so you can stop thinking about your gear and start thinking about your shot.

In the Old City with my camera, doing the thing I love, right before a bar mitzvah shoot.
I got there early last week, before the crowds, to walk and look. I wanted some Kotel (Western Wall) street-photography-type shots.

Street photography asks something different of you than a portrait session does. There's no posing, no direction, no control. It takes a different kind of ease. It's something in photography I love teaching most, because I remember what it felt like to be uncomfortable with it too. And, you know what, I almost always have some sense of discomfort!

If you've ever wanted to shoot street photography and felt too self-conscious to lift the camera, that feeling is normal, and it's something you can work through. I teach this in my workshops and mentoring sessions. And we have fun and meet new and interesting people while doing it.

Some clients you photograph once. Some become part of your story, and you, of theirs.

Wouldn't you want that ease with your event photographer?

Last week I was back in the Old City for Akiva's Bar Mitzvah, and it wasn't our first celebration together. I worked with and photographed the Perlmans for their last Bat Mitzvah, and stepping back into their story this time is very meaningful for me.

Trust and comfort are built, and working together feels more like a flow.

Thank you to this family for having me back, for trusting me with another chapter, and for the kind of connection that turns a client into something more than a work relationship.

If you're planning a simcha in Jerusalem or the Old City and want it documented with that kind of care, I'd love to talk.

First day in Vienna, and I hit the streets before I even had my bearings.

Shooting from the hip in a city I don't know yet. No comfort, no familiar corners, just walking and reacting. That discomfort is part of the process. You don't wait until a place feels safe to start seeing it.

Some of my favorite street work has come from exactly this stage, before I know where anything is, when I'm still noticing everything, trying to get a feel for the city.

Tomorrow we head to the mountains for landscape work. Today was about getting the lay of the land and finding a few honest moments along the way.

Contact me if you'd like a one-on-one session or mentorship to help refine and improve your street photography, or, as many have done, sign up for a one-on-one session with me when you come to Israel or join any of our retreats.

I already own the Sony 85 1.8. TTArtisan offered to send me theirs anyway, and I almost said no.

Then I remembered my Nikon kit has no fast prime, just a 24-120. So I said yes.

Shot formal portraits, some looser street-style images like what you saw from my Gilo video, a few landscapes.

The TTArtisan is $99 right now. The Sony version is $648.

To purchase the TTArtisan 85mm 1.8:

I have very expensive gear. Sony bodies and glass, Nikon body and glass, the kind of setup that makes people assume the camera is doing the work.
But lately I have been reaching for something else. An old Panasonic GX8, not even the top of their line, with a fixed 20mm lens on it. That is a 40mm equivalent, f/1.7. Simple. Small. Nothing flashy about it. A micro 4/3 camera.
I took it out with my family a few times, recently, including a day in Tel Aviv, just to prove something to myself. That you do not need your most expensive gear to make images that mean something. Sometimes it is nice to look inconspicuous. To not be the person with three lenses and a bag full of equipment. Just a small camera, a fixed focal length, and my eyes doing the rest of the work.
The images from that day do not look like they came from a lesser camera. They look like they came from someone who was present. Someone who was watching her family instead of thinking about settings.
That is what I want people to understand about working with me. It is never about the gear. It is about story. It is about art. It is about caring enough to see what is actually in front of you, whether that is with a camera worth thousands of dollars or one that has been sitting in a drawer for years.
Keep shooting, keep seeing, keep creating work that matters.

Does a photo need to be sharp to be good?

Motion blur in a street scene. A portrait where the expression matters more than the focus. Grain in a low light frame. Softness carrying a landscape's mood. None of it is a mistake. It's telling you there was movement and life in front of the lens.

A photo that's perfectly sharp corner to corner, every detail clinical, can end up feeling dead instead of alive.

Nobody has ever looked at a real moment and asked if it was sharp enough. They felt something instead.
