Luke Archer
I'm an assistant based in Brighton, spending a lot of time in London! but also working across the country and occasionally internationally. I love the job and I'm always happy to pitch in wherever I’m needed to ensure a fun and stress-free shoot.
I assist a wide variety of photographers ( solo and repped) from across many photographic disciplines: editorial, portraiture, corporate, still life, food, interiors, commercial advertising, kids fashion and more.
I'm happy working in big studios such Big Sky, Alva, Premier Park etc or out in a muddy field. On smaller jobs, I'm often a one-man band taking care of both lighting and digi duties - bringing a spare SSD for backing up just in case your client is still ‘borrowing’ yours.
I'm familiar with current industry standards such Aputure Led, Profoto, Chronosync etc. I have a small selection of kit available to hire including Profoto b10's with modifers and some GFX lenses.
If you are looking to shoot in Brighton I can recommend locally based crew such as hair, make-up, props, videographers, and other assistants, as well as studios and locations.
Feel free to get in touch - I'm happy to answer any questions or provide references!
Shiv Kanagaratnam
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. A complete Fuji GFX100 kit available from me too.
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 in the studio or on location using generators.
