I’ve shot for major brands as a tandem capture photographer, for well, a long time.

I live on motion sets; I know the differences between a gaffer, a second AD, and a DP.

And most importantly, I know how to be invisible,

and how to take control during my five-minute shoot (which usually shrinks to three).

I’ll stay out of the crew’s way, and the director’s way.

I’ll get the shots the Clients & Creative team concepted and a few unexpected.

I’m very fast and very skilled, which helps take the load off of an already over-stressed producer

who probably learned last-minute I’d be on set.

Hire me and everyone looks good

for getting all those valuable stills - without adding OT.

Let’s discuss how unobtrusive I am, how I’m fast-friends with

everyone, and what it’s like having me as a still guy on your motion set.

I’ve shot with film crews all over the world, on every type of set,

in every climate, in every imaginable environment.

You could call tandem capture photography one of my specialties.

Let’s connect; I’ll help you simplify your shoot.

I won’t cost the director any time,

or the producer any money,

and you get great stills for your now totally cohesive campaign.

Piggybacking and Shooting in Tandem on motion shoots takes a rare breed of photographer. Being successful demands shooting fast, having a strong depth of knowledge in both stills and video and diverse shooting skills including celebrity portraits, lifestyle, still life, landscapes, and product photography. Getting along well with others and knowing how to work within the set hierarchy are tantamount to a successful shoot and collaboration. Appreciating that in this scenario, the still photographer is often last to get their shot and often under time pressure from the producer, AD, and Director to get the shot and get out of the way. A good sense of humor and humility go a long way when Piggybacking on Motion Sets!
