Photo Assistant: Me holding lights

Robbie McClaran posted some images from is shoot that I assisted for down in Eugene a while back. It was a really good time going down to my old stomping grounds in Eugene, OR and work on a shoot at my alma mater UO. As I was holding the light I could look to the left and see my old dorm room overlooking Hayward Field.

It’s always nice to work for laid back fun people like Robbie. Add to that he was the one of the people nice enough to give me one of my first gigs back when I started and couldn’t tell a C-stand from a hole in the wall, that makes working for him a double pleasure and a chance for me to rate how far I have come.

Anyway, check out his images, they are pretty cool.

Digital Work: Lacoste

Being busy is always a good thing and that has what has kept me from posting for a while. Also, I am still working out the kinks on what I can talk about and what I can’t.

Luckily, Bulb Studio has allowed me to post what we have been up to. A while back we did a test for Lacoste and had the folks over at 245Media shoot some video while we were working. It turned out wonderfully and it actually shows me working as both the photo assistant and digital tech on set plus it shows what a fun crew that bulb is.

Site Debut: Phagens Promo Video Work

admin — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:02:57 +0000

I forgot I had linked my twitter to this blog and so it got debuted a little sooner than planned. So here it is, the first official post talking about work!

I work quite a bit over at Bulb Studio and for this particular job I worked as a photo assistant and digital tech for the full fashion shoot and video complement we did for the client Phagan’s that went exceedingly well. Chad Boutin was the fashion photographer on the set and I love working with him because not only do I get to see his amazing way with models, but he also takes care to explain exactly what he is doing and why.

Bulb just posted the video from the shoot, and at 5:23 into the video you can catch a glimpse of my back in the shadows in front of the digital workstation we set up.

It was really cool from a digital tech point of view because Phagan’s had a large HDTV set up in the room that we were shooting in so I was able to hook my laptop up to that. Combine that with a synchronized Bridge window and some raw presets and the client, photographer and anyone else on set was able to see the images as they came up with the very rough toning applied to them. It was really rewarding to hear the gasps from the Phagan’s beauty school students as Chad’s stunning fashion images would come across the screen. That’s part of why I like being a part of a crew as a photo assistant or digital tech so much, you know your efforts are going to make the photographer’s vision and make something truly unique and amazing.

The video is after the jump

With out further ado, here is the video:

So may as well start off slow. I got this site up, and got all the galleries added. The only thing left is to link to the videos of the shoots I have worked and then we are good to go with content and the promise of more to come!
