Photography & Print Production

Print & photography.

I produce photo shoots and the print that comes out of them, from sourcing the photographer to approving the final proof. That means bidding the right vendors, running the shoot, routing images through color and retouching, and preparing files that print right the first time, whether it’s a magazine page, a transit shelter or a two-story expo build.

What I do

From the shoot to the press.

Photography
  • Source and triple-bid photographers, directors and studios
  • Pre-production: shot lists, pre-pro meetings, pre-lights
  • Casting across union and non-union talent
  • Product, model and lifestyle shoots, including look books and catalogs
  • Color correction and retouching, managed through approval
Print
  • Prepress: bleeds, dielines, outlined type, color and proofs
  • Hard-proof approval under D50 viewing conditions
  • Vendor sourcing and triple bids, checked line by line against the RFP
  • Stock and finish selection for the effect and the budget
  • Large format: out of home, transit, billboards, event signage and expo graphics
  • Kitting and multi-site distribution of printed materials and merch
