ABOUT ME:
I've had the chance to work alongside some excellent photographers, and along the way I've found a real passion for assisting on set.
I have a background in photography, experience as a relief shooter, and hands-on experience with grip, strobe and natural lighting, and production. I bring a problem-solving mindset, a sharp eye and a calm presence to every shoot. My job is to anticipate what's needed, keep things moving and support your vision from setup to breakdown.
Photographers can count on me to be punctual, professional and detail-oriented.
HOW I CAN HELP:
Whether you need a second shooter or an extra set of hands on a busy day, I'm ready to step in wherever the shoot needs me:
Lighting & grip: setting up and adjusting strobes, modifiers, stands and natural-light control.
Set support: managing backgrounds, moving equipment and resetting between setups.
Second shooting: providing extra coverage and angles when you need it.
On-set review: acting as a second set of eyes on images as you shoot.
Gear & asset management: keeping equipment organized and handling digital asset management, so you can stay focused on the work.
What Photographers Say:
“I feel so grateful to have Miles by my side! He is such a wonderful person to have on set. He’s professional, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I really appreciate how he thinks ahead and takes initiative before I even have to ask. His calm presence and easygoing personality make shoot days even more enjoyable. As a photographer and business owner, I have ten thousand things on my mind. Knowing Miles is there to help me think things through is such a relief and allows me to be fully present with my clients and focus on the creative work.”
