Calvert Studios, 2 Week Placement

Assisted on commercial shoots for major brands, supporting lighting setups, maintaining studio flow, and gaining hands-on experience in professional set environments.

I had the exciting opportunity to assist on high-profile video and photo shoots for prestigious brands including Aston Martin, Suzuki, CashApp RB F1, Bentley, Rolls Royce, and more. Each shoot was unique, and my role involved supporting photographers and lighting teams, particularly on complex automotive setups, and managing technical elements such as LED panel walls, smoke machines, and other special effects.
I worked on shoots featuring high-profile celebrities, gaining valuable insight into the level of professionalism required on such high-stakes productions. This experience helped me develop skills in advanced lighting techniques, efficient studio workflow, and managing fast-paced environments. I also strengthened my understanding of set etiquette, client communication, and collaboration, while building industry connections and expanding my technical expertise in both photography and videography.
