Mike Dodd - London
Mike, a non smoker, has been assisting for at least 1 year. He drives and has access to a car.

"Whether it be in a hot stuffy studio, sitting in front of a computer, out in high winds and freezing temperatures, paddling about in horse poo or balancing on a jet boat in rapids with a case full of camera gear I'm always working in a professional manor. Im reliable, confident and enthusiastic with a constant outlook to further myself as an assistant and operator as well as being more involved with production and project research Being very socially aware means I can be relied upon to look after peoples needs and work alongside even the most difficult characters, Im not a social hand grenade!

Although most of my experience has been with car photographers both on location and in the studio Europe-wide I have also worked with industrial, interior and portrait photographers and set builders. Im very well versed with tungsten and also use Profoto, Elinchrom, Broncolor and the Bron-Studio software. I have a solid understanding of Bridge, Lightroom and Photoshop as well as working with Hasselblad H2 and Phase backs. Although fairly new to it I also have a good understanding of Capture One Pro 3 & 4.

Im 33, a non-smoker and have a full drivers and motorcycle license and am an experienced very competent driver worldwide with lots of tracking and rig shot experience. I have a car and motorcycle so transport so I can be in any location with ease. Im an experienced and confident traveler and an easygoing companion when spending hours in close proximity with others day after day on location or in the studio."
