BTS / Assisting

Since the very beginning of my BA I realized the best way to learn how photographers and videographers work was to be in set and observ them working, so I tried to get involved in as many shoots as I could.

I have taken BTS photos for Fiorella’s and Samantha’s films and I will develop the negatives myself tomorrow (will add them to the journal), really excited to see the results. But the main reason why I did it was to learn how their DOPs were filming.

The easiest way to be in set is starting as a runner, which I did and didn’t like; that’s why I tried to get in film sets as the stills photographer. The photos shared below are from different film sets for the last couple of months for Print Room Productions and the fashion news channel CULTED.

I had the opportunity to go to a shoot this morning for a baby magazine at the Conservatory at Barbican. I was not allowed to take any pictures for the blog for obvious reasons but it was a good experience to see how the photographer works with baby models. It was also extremely cute.
