Hi,
I'm a London based DigiTech and lighting tech with more than 12 years of experience working freelance in the photographic industry.

In my time as a photographic assistant, I have worked on shoots in just about every genre of photography imaginable, from portraiture, fashion and sport photography, all the way through to automotive, underwater and still life. I've even had the privilege of lighting the Queen for a royal portrait. Having such varied experiences in my career has put me in good stead to anticipate and find solutions to any problems that might come up on shoots.

Equipment wise, I'm happy using any brand of lighting, both flash and continuous. As a Digitech, I'm happy and well-versed in all the main camera systems, as well as Capture One, Phocus and Photoshop on both Mac and PC. I have even invented my own photographic equipment, including the Fotofortress Quick Release Tether Lock which is now available for sale in the UK, Europe, North America and Australia.

Other skills I have acquired over the years include professional rigging, from working as a scaffolder before starting my photography career. I'm also good with my hands and have the tools and the knowledge to build sets, coves and flats if needed. I have my BS7909 certificate in temporary power systems, an essential qualification if you want to work in lighting in the film and TV industry.

Finally, I also have a selection of DigiTech equipment available for hire, including a top spec Macbook Pro, a digi cart and 2 x 27 inch Eizo monitors which I'm happy to rent out for 20% less than the fees charged by the main rental houses.

Thanks so much and I look forward to working with you soon!

Hi, I’m Valerio. I have been working in the photography industry since 2015. Before moving on to assisting, I taught post-production at a photography school in London.
I began as a studio assistant and then I moved on to second/first assistant as well as Digi-Tech and retoucher. Originally from Italy, I’m now based in south London.

I have spent most of my assisting time on location, around Europe and the Middle East. This has given me a deep understanding on how to travel with photographic equipment and how to quickly tackle challenging weather conditions when the team needs to be most efficient. I have experience shooting in extreme cold / hot environments and also as a second shooter.

I’m highly proficient in post-production and colour management. I’m accustomed to working fast under tight deadlines and to delivering files for either digital or print use.

On top of capturing stills, I'm confident shooting video too.

Here’s an overview of my skills and equipment I have worked with:

- Camera systems: Canon, Sony, Nikon, Leica.

- Lighting: Aputure, Profoto, Elinchrom, Arri, Dedo.

- Software: Capture One, Lightroom, Photoshop, Camera RAW, Bridge, Da Vinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, VR and 360° stills.

- Languages: mother tongue Italian, fluent English, basic French

Equipment available to hire:

- 15-inch MacBook Pro (includes Capture One Pro, Photoshop, Bridge, Lightroom, Da Vinci)
- 27-inch Benq Monitor
- Datacolor Spyder 5 Pro
- Wacom Intuos Pro Small
- Sony A7 IV + lenses
- Leica M240 + lenses
- Blue hand painted background
- Manfrotto 190 Tripod + 410 Micro-metric geared head
- F&V K4000 SE Daylight LED Panel
- 500W flashes with a wide range of light shapers

Travel:

I hold an Italian passport, a UK driving license and I have my own car.
I’m happy to travel/drive anywhere if required.

Bonus:

I play guitar and I’m a very good cook!

Hi there. I'm Shiv, a digital operator and lighting assistant based in London. I've been working within the photography industry since 2008 when I started out at Spring Studios.

Having worked as a digital operator for over 10 years I have extensive experience with Capture One, Phocus, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Bridge. I frequently work with Hasselblad, Phase One, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm and Contax cameras.

I often supply and use my own MacBook Pros, Eizo screens, work stations and cabling on Advertising shoots to provide multiple viewing points to aid client comfort and feedback and allow other creatives to watch what's happening in real time. This can be wireless or wired and I can tailor the package to your budget and location.

Although I no longer actively retouch, I have in the past retouched campaigns for Ikea and Subway as well as portraits of celebrities and various fashion editorials. On-set comping and rough retouching to show clients quick mock-ups isn’t a problem.

I have experience in creating lighting plans from references with flash or continuous lighting using Profoto, Elinchrom, Briese, Broncolor, Strobe, Tungsten, HMI, Kinoflo and LED panels in the studio or on location using generators.

Whilst assisting I have also taken on my own jobs, working for clients such as Channel 4, REPOSE Kensington and Bar Works LTD. Throughout my last 3 years living in London, i have also been lucky enough to exhibit my work and have had images published with companies such as Karaang and Timeout London.

Please give me a call on 07903811649 for any assisting roles you have

I have recently graduated from the BA Fashion Photography at London Metropolitan University, during my degree I have developed excellent skills in tethered shooting with Capture One Pro as well as lighting such as Profoto, Bowens and Kinoflow.



EXPERIENCE
October 2022 - Internship as studio assistant at Shutterhouse Studios This position lead to assisting on jobs with clients such as Apple Music, L’ Officiel Magazine, Elle Magazine, Wonderland magazine. I worked with photographers Annemarie Sterian, Olivia Bossert & Karolina Weilocha.

• Health and safety such as cable management, sandbags, set supports.

I’ve been working in the photographic industry since 2008 in freelance and full time positions as a photo assistant, digital operator, studio manager and production manager. I am a Phase One Certified Professional and equally experienced and capable with lighting and digital operating.

Before moving to London in 2015 I was based in South Africa and then Germany.
Over the years I have worked on projects across all genres from still life studio shoots to on location outdoor projects in difficult environments. I most enjoy advertising, portraiture, lifestyle, travel and documentary work. I can provide a list of references on request.

Please feel free to give me call if you'd like to discuss any projects or have any questions.

Hey!

I'm Beth, a Westminster University graduate based in South East London. While completing my BA in Photography, I worked as a part-time assistant for three years. I've worked closely with TonyHphoto on numerous food and interiors shoots over the years and have an eye for both interior and food styling.

On location or in the studio, I am adept at using continuous and flash lighting, analogue and digital cameras, as well as alternative photographic techniques.
I believe myself to be trustworthy, diligent, motivated, creative and a people person.

Capture One, Photoshop , Lightroom, Premiere Pro

Lighting: Profoto, Broncolor

Cameras used: Canon DSLR/Mirrorless, Nikon DSLR, Phase One, Leica, Hasselblad, Sinar 5x4

Full clean UK driving licence.

I’ve been lucky enough to have travled extensively as an assistant and have just returned from South Africa where I was working on a Getty shoot with Rob Daly and Chris Newton. I used to work profesionaly with race horses and rode in races over jumps

Based in Woolwich, Greenwich, I am a professional photographer working closely with large and small businesses in London and further afield. I am here to help if you are planning a photo shoot – whether large or small - to promote your brand, service or product. It could be for the purpose of advertising, a catalogue or maybe for your company website.

I am always at hand dedicated to fulfil any brief you may have, whether it is lifestyle, advertising or corporate events photography.
Over the years I have developed a problem-solving approach, a very keen eye, and an excellent understanding of composition. This, coupled with an in-depth knowledge of post production, and the following process of design and artwork, ensures that I can exceed any expectations. I also always pride myself in delivering a finished product on schedule and on budget.

One of my big passions is my love of travel, and to share my experiences through my images. This does not only take me around the world – with many great new images as a result - but it is also a continuing source of inspiration which influences and feeds my enthusiasm for photography.


Post Production:

With many years experience of high-end retouching I am able to take control of the post production of my images if this is required. The advantage of this is that my style and quality control can be consistent throughout the whole process and I can deliver a truly finished product. Some examples of previous post production projects can be seen at my DigiSurgeon website.

Worked full time for advertising photographer Jonathan Oakes in Manchester before moving to London.
Now based in Highgate. I Have worked on shoots for magazines including Marie Clair, In Style, Harpers and Queen, Q , and the Times magazine.

Hi, I'm Harry, a Photographer, Lighting Assistant and Digi based between Oxford and London.

I shoot portraiture and documentary style work. In the past I've worked for clients such as The Financial Times, Monocle, The Guardian, British Red Cross, The Economist 1843 Magazine, The Telegraph Magazine, Hodder Books and C.P. Company.

I've been assisting regularly since 2015 and have worked with many photographers across a wide range of genres and styles from fashion to still life to commercial. I began working as a freelance Digi and Retoucher in 2017 for a commercial fashion brand and working on commercial fashion (location and studio) and ecommerce shoots. I have since worked in this capacity for a number of clients.

I'd love to work with you on your next shoot. Get in touch!
