Philadelphia Photo Assistant and digital tech

If you need a Philadelphia photo assistant and digital tech for your shoot in Philadelphia I’m happy to help out. I’ve got tons of experience assisting and I love it. Ive got a great car for picking up and hauling gear and I’m comfortable as a lighting assistant and I can handle the digital work as well. If you need to rent any gear feel free to ask I might just be able to help with that too. A little about my professional experience below.

Working Knowledge
Cameras: Canon, and Nikkon Digital SLR systems as well as cambo, hasselblad camera systems with phase one backs.
Lighting: Profoto, Dynalite, Norman, white lightning, alienbee strobe lighting, as well as various constant and “hot” lights.
Digital Services : Proficient as a digital tech if needed, and can handle digital capture via Canon EOS software or Capture one Software.Other programs Im proficient in are listed below.

Photoshop CS: retouching, composting, color correction, web optimization, camera RAW
Lightroom: digital development, digital capture, digital workflow, retouching, web gallery/portfolio, digital archiving.

Personal Experience : I started my career shooting still life / Product photography. This was fun but I found I wanted to learn more. Soon after I joined a photographers cooperative, the Wonderful Machine where I learned about editorial portrait photography, event photography and studio lighting. I’ve been assisting ever since. I enjoy assisting and helping on shoots as much as possible. Some of my strengths are production, lighting and working as a digital tech . If your coming to town I would be happy to be your Philadelphia Photo Assistant.
