Unit-Stills Photographer
for Film, TV and Commercial Productions.
You don’t need someone still learning set etiquette.
You need someone who shuts up and knows where to stand.
I've shot unit stills in Central Florida and Atlanta for more than 20 years, on productions where the Producer doesn't want an extra body near video village and the Client needs stills that don't require a reshoot. I read the call sheet before crew call and keep out of the talent’s eye-line, but close enough to be a step away when needed. Sometimes it’s ten seconds between setups before the video crew moves on. I’m decisive without being a jerk and, when necessary, know how to direct talent specifically for stills. Every image here was captured on that kind of shoot.
Publicity stills for the release, the press kit, and the poster campaign

What I Cover
Where
Orlando, Central Florida (including Tampa) and I often find myself in Atlanta. If your production is shooting anywhere in those areas, get in touch.
Stills vs. BTS content creator
Different deliverable, different crew slot. BTS is built for social and extras. Unit stills are the still frames a distributor, publicist, or marketing team uses for press kits and poster campaigns. Some productions need both off the same crew day. I've done that too.
Quality & Experience
I shot unit stills for Scotts' Provista Turf commercial across two sweltering Florida locations, West Palm Beach/Orlando and Arcadia. I ran unit stills alongside a video crew for Experience Kissimmee tourism campaign.
Rate & Availability
Depends on production size, number of shoot days, and if it’s for a commercial or film. I quote per job rather than off a rate card. Here's how I think about pricing commercial work generally. For a real number on your production, email me the shoot dates and what you need
How much lead time do you need to book?
The earlier the better once you have shoot dates. I'll work around a tight schedule when I can, but location scouting and gear prep both take time.
Can you shoot both stills and motion on the same day?
I have, just depends on the production and what you actually need out of both. For that sort of thing, you can request a custom quote.
FAQ
Do you handle key art support, or just publicity stills?
Both. Key art can be shot against your color backdrop of choice, or on set. Shots go to a layout with title-safe space, ready for the composite.
Can the same day cover EPK stills and publicity stills?
Yes. Tell me what the release needs and I'll build the day around it.
