The Other Stuff

Most people have some idea of what I mean when I say I'm a photographer. But most people, it seems, have less of an idea of what it is I do as a Production Manager. Usually the questions goes something like this "I saw you tagged on Facebook as Production Manager, what is that?"

Well here is a little behind the scenes look at a commercial photo shoot we did this summer for the new RE Camera by HTC.  It was just announced at their Double Exposure event in NYC. 

My job, essentially, is to make sure there are no hurdles that could interfere with the photographers creative process. From hiring the team, to shopping for props, securing locations and permits, reviewing images and making sure the set looks perfect, to feeding everyone and of course making sure we have all the shots the client needs,  just to name a few things. 

Earlier this week, HTC revealed some new products at their Double Exposure event in NYC. http://blog.htc.com/2014/10/double-exposure/ I'm honored to again create many of the images for their newest product the HTC RE, a small handheld camera. I've had several requests for a behind the scenes look at a commercial photo shoot, so I asked Edward to come film the team at work. He has put together a great video for you. Hope you enjoy it!!
