The UK's photo assistant marketplace

I am a recent gradate of BA (Hons) in Photography and now seeking full time freelance photographic assistant work. I am based near York but am more than willing to travel for assisting work to Leeds or around the north. I have taken on a few projects of my own which have included nightlife photography, live band shoots, family photo shoots and wedding receptions. I have also worked on the set of the ITV programme Emmerdale shadowing their photographer for a day. I am very interested in photojournalism and documentary photography, particularly that which involves candid situations such as travel and street photography. As often as I can I like to get away and explore with my camera, so travelling to my place of work is not an issue for me. I am also very passionate about photography as a means of communication and ways in which it engages the viewer. I am inspired by photographers such as Dorothy Lange, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. I am very friendly, honest and hard working, and most of all I am very keen to learn new skills on all levels. I have used a some studio lighting and have some knowledge of Photoshop and Lightroom. I have knowledge of using 35mm digital (canon eos range) and film camera equipment and I am also confident processing films and using darkroom equipment to process prints. CV and portfolio on request. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I’m Michael, a London based photographer and photo assistant. I’ve worked on editorial and commercial shoots, as well as music videos, and recently graduated from LCC with a degree in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography. I have hands on experience with Profoto lighting systems, studio flash and continuous lighting, both in the studio and on location. I’m comfortable working with digital cameras and 35mm, medium format and large format film, with experience using Capture One and Photoshop. I’m friendly, attentive and adaptable, happy to help with equipment preparation, lighting setups and general support on set. I’m looking for second and third assistant work, supporting experienced lighting teams and continuing to develop my technical skills. Photographers I’ve assisted include Jono White and Eimear Lynch. I’ve also worked as a stills assistant for the directing duo Bedroom.

I'm a photographer with experience covering weddings, corporate events and a range of other occasions. I enjoy capturing natural moments as they happen, while making sure the important details don't get missed. I'm comfortable working in busy environments, adapting to different settings and working alongside other photographers to help everything run smoothly. I'm reliable, easy to work with and happy to get stuck in wherever needed.
