    Amazon Launchpad // Claire Harrison PhotographyThe morning is the always the most important part of the day for me. Making sure the connection from camera to computer is there, the lights are firing at the same time, rigging them safely and ensuring whatever I hand over is exactly what the photogrpaher and client agreed...this is all set up in the morning and then the content churned out during the day. This day was no different, with two active sets I had to design a mobile workstation with all the same gear and gadgets I would have on an o

    Vashi // Benedict Morgan // Digital OperativeYou meet the nicest teams when you least expect it. During lockdown time I lucked out on assisting on Kat Perry with her production company. I delved straight in, working from home mostly like everyone else. However, there was a day or two where I went on set as a producer and this is where I met George (we were so cool we didn't exchange second names) but he was Benedict's Digi Op on the shoot and we hit it off immediately. When I meet people in the industry I look for a cool, knowledgeable hea

    Mo Gilligan // The New Review Cover // Suki DhandaI have assistted Suki for 5 years now. She was one of the first photographer's I ever assistted and it goes without saying I learnt so much from her. Things like, how to talk to clients, how to make the subject relax and pull the best out of them. Her eye for detail is immense and her high standards pushed me to be constantly better. The amount of adventures we've been on carry with them great memories. Seeing her juggle this with being a committed mum sets a clear example of how to navigate it
  • Chinti & Parker // Ecom // Digital Operator
    Chinti & Parker // Ecom // Digital OperatorAs Digital Operator I am responsible for setting up and troubleshooting any camera or lighting faults. I bring with me a M1 Macbook Pro, Eizo monitor, powered hub, hardrives, tethers and card readers. We rent the lighting equipment from the studio. You can see below a picture of "my office" and a sample image of that day. Ecmommerce jobs are great days because we get to shoot alot of content in a short amount of time without doing any major changes to the set.

    - I manage the logistics of teams in creating e-commerce imagery for Asos.com.

I’ve developed strong working relationships with my teams, promoting an approachable attitude and working with them as creative individuals to bring out the best in their skills. - I am able to advise the Photographer on shot composition and assist them with Capture One by pulling from my technical expertise. I am consistently able to meet the shoot targets on time and adapt to changes in circumstances. - I use my knowledge of current trends and brand personality to inform my selection of images. - I have been working on a freelance basis for 2 years and progressed from a trainee Shoot Leader to Shoot Producer in 6 months.

Some of the shoots I have produced have seen a 200% increase in sales. - Working here has allowed me to practice my skills within the Asos framework so I can produce, communicate and troubleshoot more effectively.

    I worked with the Directors by managing their 30 year old image archive. • This includes digitising transparency slides and sorting them into a Capture One Catalog. • This allows the company to better search their library of work, as well as generate web based diptychs based on daily themes. I am looking to upgrade the Catalog with AI-powered image recognition software.
