Photography Production Support
in NYC & New Jersey

You focus on the photograph. I’ll handle everything around it.

Hey, I’m Matt

Great shoots require more than a camera and a creative vision. They require preparation, organization, logistics, and someone who is always thinking one step ahead.

I provide hands-on production and operational support for photographers, from pre-production through shoot day and wrap so you can spend less time managing the details and more time making the work.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Your extra set of hands (and your second brain)

I'm a photographer myself, with a professional background in executive support and operations.

That combination allows me to approach a shoot from both sides: I understand the creative process, while also knowing how to organize people, manage logistics, anticipate needs, and keep a production moving.

My goal is simple:

When you're focused on the client, talent, or camera, I'm focused on everything else.

I can assist from first email to final breakdown:

  • The goal: You arrive on set ready to create - not figure out what was forgotten.

    The work starts before we step on set. I can help coordinate the details that turn a creative idea into a production that's ready to execute.

    • Client & team communications

    • Scheduling & logistics

    • Call sheets

    • Production decks

    • Equipment lists

    • Equipment rentals & orders

    • Crew coordination

    • Location logistics

    • Travel & transportation coordination

    • Shoot-day preparation

  • The goal: You shouldn't have to stop creating to solve a logistics problem.

    Once we're on set, I'm there to keep things moving. I'll work alongside you and the crew to make sure the production stays organized, safe, and on schedule.

    • Gear loading & transportation

    • Equipment setup & breakdown

    • Lighting & grip assistance

    • C-stands, modifiers & grip

    • Strobe setup

    • Tether station support

    • Battery & equipment management

    • Moving and resetting equipment

    • Talent & client support

    • Cable & set organization

    • General production troubleshooting

  • The goal: A clean wrap and one less thing on your plate.

    The job isn't finished when the last frame is captured. I can handle the details that come after the shoot so you can leave set knowing everything is accounted for.

    • Equipment breakdown

    • Gear inventory

    • Rental returns

    • Packing & transportation

    • Production wrap

    • Follow-up coordination

    • General post-production logistics

Ongoing production support for busy photographers

Need more than an assistant for a single shoot?

I'm also available for ongoing collaborations and monthly retainers.

For photographers with recurring productions, I can become an extension of your workflow, helping with everything from pre-production and equipment coordination to shoot-day support and wrap.

Instead of bringing in a new person every time, you have someone who already understands how you work.

Retainer support can include:

Pre-Production
Client communications · Scheduling · Call sheets · Production decks · Equipment rentals · Crew coordination

Production
Gear prep · Lighting & grip · Set management · Client support · Logistics · Troubleshooting

Post-Production
Gear returns · Inventory · Wrap coordination · Administrative follow-up
