Know How:
I have around 20 years of experience working as a photographer, both digital and analog. I’m comfortable with Canon, Leica, Fujifilm, Pentax and other medium and large-format 4×5 camera systems.
I have strong experience with studio lighting, strobes, speedlights, light modifiers, metering, camera setup, tethered shooting, and general studio workflow. I’m also experienced with film loading and processing, black-and-white
darkroom work, scanning, printing, and archival handling.
On the digital side, I work with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, including file management, color correction, retouching, exporting, and preparing images for print and publication.
I’m comfortable working in fast-paced environments, handling and organizing equipment, troubleshooting technical issues, setting up and breaking down lighting and camera gear, and supporting photographers during shoots.
