Hire a Photo Assistant in Somerset

Updated 3 months ago

I’ve worked on a wide range of editorial and commercial shoots across the UK, Europe and the US, primarily within portraiture, interiors, food and lifestyle photography. My experience ranges from smaller editorial productions to larger commercial sets, and I’m comfortable adapting to different working styles and crews. I mostly work as a 1st assistant or digital operator, supporting photographers with lighting builds, camera setup and on-set workflow. I’m confident building and assisting with lighting setups, troubleshooting on set, and offering input when useful. I’m organised, calm and reliable on set, and enjoy working with new teams and collaborators to help keep shoots running smoothly. I’m used to working in fast-paced environments, across varied locations and briefs, and can work both independently and as part of a larger crew. I place a lot of value on clear communication, good energy on set and being someone people are happy to have back on future jobs. Rates available on request. I work in line with BECTU guidelines.

I have been a Professionally trained and qualified Wedding Photographer for the past 25 years, 8 with a Southampton based company and 17 on my own with my own company. I have all the experience you can imagine from photographing weddings as well as a fully trained assistant. I am looking to help out any established wedding photography company who might fancy doubling their takings by employing me on a freelance basis to cover weddings they otherwise wouldn't be able to take on. I am professionally insured as well as all my equipment. For the past 30 years plus I have also been a fully trained photographic pro work printer, working in some of the countries biggest at their time laboratories. Fully conversant in Photoshop. Looking to earn some extra money to subsidise my own business and work. Looking for a set hourly rate and mileage allowance. Contact me for more discussion and availability. Check out my website for samples of my work. I have already been taken on by a few photographers in this way and now broadening the scope for others to get more work to their business by using me to cover days they otherwise would miss out on.
