Photo Assistant, Digital Tech

Know How:
Seasoned freelance digital tech living and working in New York City. I have a strong retouching and lighting background, which keeps me hyper-focused on set and informs my attention to detail. My mission as a digital tech is to keep all vested members of a production aligned visually while providing current and reliable capture tools. My on-set experience is vast and includes diverse imagery from commercial still life to fashion editorials. I have worked
consistently with several still life and fashion photographers throughout my career for brands such as Estee Lauder, L’Oreal, Maybelline, Cerave and more. I own a breadth of digital and G&E equipment and am happy to customize digital kits for rent as necessary. Likewise, I am prepared for both studio and locations shoots and have been a tech on shoots home and abroad.
And not to toot my own horn, but my on-set playlists are killer.
References as assistant / Career
Immediately post-undergrad, I began working as a retoucher for Under Armour in Baltimore for several years. After learning the basics of the digital tech workflow, I moved to Brooklyn and started off working in equipment rooms until I was given the opportunity to begin lighting assisting on cosmetic still life sets. Shortly after, I utilized my experience to move into digital teching on product shoots. For a few years I worked full time in-house, which exposed me to a variety of productions and workflows until I decided to go freelance. Although freelancing during COVID presented its own challenges and changed the industry, I have been able to maintain positive relationships with several agencies and clients and found ways to help photographers deliver beyond expectations.
