Assisting: My Journey

My first exposure to photography assisting enamoured me. It was one summer week in 2021, in Brooklyn New York. A previous client of mine from Portland, Oregon contacted me out of the blue to ask if I was interested in working as an assistant for a commercial shoot where I was currently living: New York. As I casually accepted, little did I know how much this experience would blow me away. During this one week, large-scale production throughout various locations in Brooklyn, I was filled with inspiration as I helped bring visions to life through the play of lights, colours, and shading. After this experience, I knew this was a world I wanted to step into. Today I am lucky to have supported creating setups for shoots ranging from corporate to fashion, and am looking forward to more.
