References as assistant / Career
My career started out exploring the professional world of Photography where I began my career working on film productions as a Production Assistant. From there, I quickly progressed due to my understanding of photography and lighting, pursuing work as a Gaffer. Since I already had an intimate understanding of camera techniques, lighting and technology, I was able to quickly adapt to working as a First Assistant. Due to my background in the camera department on film productions as an AC, photographers have noticed my proficient ability to staying two steps ahead on set and providing them with what they need before they even know they need it. I have been trusted by professional photographers such as: Jeremy Cowart, Ruven Alfanador, Patrick Chin, Emily Romain and Kathryn Page.
My most prolific job was working with Emily Romain on an 8-day Carnival Cruise Line for a commercial lifestyle shoot. For this job I was tasked as a first assistant where I was also responsible for overseeing all gear logistics, as well as building and shooting using an underwater housing.
