• Work with tethered shooting workflows and digital capture systems
• Organize and manage image files throughout the shoot process
• Perform basic colour correction and image adjustments as needed
• Collaborate with the creative team on image selection and post-production editing notes
• Adapt quickly to changes in shot lists, schedules, products, and creative direction
• Contribute creative ideas and solutions throughout the production process

Requirements
