Started as an assistant to help lead photographers. I would capture creative shots while the leads focused on traditional wedding shots. I also set-up the lighting for reception or dark surroundings using the lead photographer’s equipment. The overall goal is to make sure we get the shots, but also in a creative way using the limited light/settings we have to produce satisfying results.Some of the roles include (but not limited to):• Hop on calls with clients a few weeks before the wedding to find out what type of shots the client wants • Manage a Team of 2 and sometimes photograph solo• Photographed a high volume of ethnicity and cultural weddings within 3 years• Maintain teamwork mentality helping everyone get through a long day or sometimes weeks
