Hello, I'm Jacob Schuhle-Lewis. I'm 31 and have years of experience in the photography industry, and several more in film and TV. I now work as an agency represented digital operator, and a photography/lighting assistant. I live in central London but have worked on jobs worldwide; from South Africa to Seattle. ·························································································································································································· On and off set I am courteous and professional. I try and think ahead to fix problems before they occur - but also listen to instruction. I remain calm under pressure and when faced with challenges. Despite my level of experience I try and keep learning, and take something new from nearly every job. ·························································································································································································· I have an extensive knowledge of light and lighting, including daylight, strobes and continuous. My time in moving image means I am equally at home with HMI, tungsten and kino as I am with flash. Although there's always new kit to learn I have a broad knowledge from speedlites to 10K arri heads, Bronocolor Super Paras, or BRIESE. ·························································································································································································· As a digital operator I am proficient with the major capture programs - Capture One, Lightroom and Phocus - and of course Photoshop. I also have a working knowledge of InDesign, Illustrator and After Effects. Of course the same goes for digital cameras; Hasselblad, Canon, Nikon Mimaya, LEAF and PhaseOne. ·························································································································································································· If you're looking for an assistant with both still and video experience, I can operate several video cameras; Canon C300, the Sony F5 and RED Epic (among others).
