Photo Assisting

Computer Savvy

Knowledgable in Mac and Windows operating systems as well as Microsoft Office, Photoshop CS2 and InDesign. I designed my own website. I have been using a Leaf Aptus 22 digital back with my Mamiya camera over the course of the school year; shooting both portable and tethered and using Leaf Capture and Adobe Camera Raw to process. I am efficient at digital workflow and archiving. I am skilled in color correction and retouching as well as digital illustration and restoration.

New: Certified as a Leaf Aptus and Leaf Capture Digital Technician.

Mobile

I have my own reliable car. Do you need something dropped off? picked up? Do you work outside the Boston area?

Photographer

I use Canon and Nikon D-SLR's, Medium Format and Large Format camera systems. I am familiar with both studio lighting equipment and portable strobe systems.

Intelligent

I attended the University of Massachusetts - Amherst with a course of study in Natural Resource Studies. I was recognized for Dean's List over 3 semesters.

Neat

I know that a neat and clean work space is an efficient one and helping to maintain that is important to me.

Organized

As the photographer at CrabApple whitewater I knew that my work could not get done without a diligent respect for organization. "A place for everything and everything in its place."

Professional

A first impression is a moment that sets the groundwork for any relationship in business and I always strive to make the most out of that moment.

Coffee Gopher

As an assistant I understand that I am not above routine tasks.

Hardworking

I will work hard do the job at hand, whatever that may be.

Punctual

I appreciate dependable people in my life and hold myself to the same high standard.

Two Steps Ahead

I am careful to observe and anticipate the needs of others.

World Traveler

I have a passport and should the opportunity arise, I'm ready to go.

 

Why Assisting?

My time here at Hallmark has been invaluable in pursuing my passion for working in the imaging industry, but I feel my education would be complemented by working for others already successful in photography. I look forward to learning more from people I admire and develop relationships in Boston and around the world.
