Experience

1. Lead Photographer

   Jostens

   Jul 2020 — Present · Eagan, MN, US

   With Jostens Pix, I\'m a lead photographer for the school year of Fall 2020. As a lead photographer, I call/email the schools two days before the event to confirm the dates, location, time, and parking for the photographers. Once I get the school\'s confirmation, I will text/email my photographers I\'m working with at the event and give them all the confirmation information. I also drive down to Egan to pick up and drop off lead beans once a week. The night before and at the event, I will download the school\'s contact information onto my laptop and the photographer\'s laptop I\'m working with. At the end of the event, I will give the photographers new sd cards, grab the old sd cards, grab the scan cards, and safely store them in the lead bin. I help with setting up and taking down the bays. As a lead photographer, I\'m also checking the photographer\'s photographs in a session review. When leaving the event, I will double-check with the event coordinator to finalize everything before leaving. Once I leave, I will mail the harddrive back to Jostens Pix headquarters in Eagan, MN. When I\'m not a lead photographer, I\'m a photographer taking pictures of school portraits. I will set up my bay and measure my lighting in the hour and a half that we have to set up. In this set up, I need to make sure that all the lighting is set up with the correct coordinators Jostens would like it to be. I will measure the lighting to make sure it is at the measurement that Jostens wants it to be. During photographing, we are to watch for gutters, headbox, and head tilt. When students or staff aren\'t taking photos, I will be checking my session review to make sure there are three good photos, and nothing needs to be reported.
