Lab Manager UK
-
As Lab manager for Lomography I supervised the introduction of our premium in-house imaging services. This included negotiating with suppliers and outside contractors to obtain off-site professional photographic services. Initially working alone I learned all aspects of print production and associated maintenance, assuring the best quality before going on to train a team to deliver the same standards.
