Occasionally adjust schedule and shoot times for large projects, including shooting in warehouse locations during off-peak hours (second shift when needed).

Be on call to capture employee events, headshots, and team group photos as needed.

Maintain a studio space that is organized, maintained, and upgraded as needed with cameras, lighting, grip, and expendables to ensure best-in-class results.
