Before the shoot

Camera and lens selection, lighting design / shot planning, location scouting.
Arranging and delivering rentals — in-house inventory includes Fuji GFX mirrorless medium format camera system (pictured), Profoto, ARRI, Aputure, and more. I work with rental houses and fellow digitechs to source equipment orders of any size, including specialty cameras/lighting, production supplies, and more.
Helping you recruit experienced, vetted crew for any role.

During the shoot

As a digital technician …

Provide digital capture equipment (computers, monitors, carts, high speed tether cables, and more) — dialed in for anywhere from the studio to high-spec interiors to outdoor locations, and customized to your shoot.
Reliable backup, naming, and management of large numbers of image files — plus on-set compositing, focus stacking, and live editing services.
Video village and remote viewing options keep your client in the loop both on and off site.

As a lighting technician / first assistant …

I create lighting diagrams, test them, and modify to suit you and your client.
I can help guide second/third assistants and PAs to free you up to focus on making images.

After the shoot

Post-production services include retouching, image printing, and more. (View retouching portfolio.)
Long-term archiving and backups are available.
I provide in-depth, customized technical consultations and group workshops to photographers of all levels, encompassing everything from finding your vision and voice to more technical topics such as gear selection, archive management, technical troubleshooting, studio and location lighting techniques, and more. I also provide these sessions to companies and brands in group settings.

“Josh is a mature and easy person to work with. He is focused and does not overpromise, yet he finds a way to solve any issues. I was having problems with a new RAID system for my photographic archive not working with my Mac Studio. He worked directly with the manufacturer and retailer to sort out the best way for me to move forward.” - Beth Galton, award-winning still life photographer and director
