On-Set Digital Imaging

DIT SERVICES

Tethered capture, live color, and file workflow. So the shoot runs smoothly from first frame to final delivery.

What I Do

The Technical Foundation of a Professional Shoot

On a well-run shoot, the digital imaging technician is the person nobody talks about. The files are always organized. The tether never drops. Color looks right on the monitor. The backup finished ten minutes ago. Nobody had to ask. That's the job.

I manage the entire digital workflow on set: tethered capture, live color management, redundant backup, and organized file handoff, so the photographer can stay focused on the creative work.

Who I Work With

Photographers, Directors, and Production Teams

Available for studio and on-location work in Chicago and nationally. Based in Chicago's Gold Coast, I'm positioned for quick calls across the city — River North studios, Fulton Market productions, West Loop locations, and anywhere else in the metro area. I work with commercial photographers, advertising agencies, catalog and editorial productions, video productions requiring stills, and any shoot where the digital workflow needs dedicated attention.

Day rates and project-based arrangements available. Get in touch to discuss your production.

The Difference

Why a Dedicated DIT

One Less Thing to Manage

The photographer's attention stays on the subject, the light, and the client. The DIT handles everything behind the lens.

Problems Solved Before They Happen

A good DIT anticipates: a warming laptop, a stressed cable, a card reader acting up. Small issues get resolved quietly. Big ones get flagged with a solution ready.

Clean Handoff to Post

Files organized, named, backed up, and ready. Post-production starts from a solid foundation, not a pile of unorganized RAW files.
