What does the day look like?
You start by rigging c-stands, softboxes and strobes from Profoto, Godox, Broncolor or Elinchrom, metering with Sekonic and checking radio triggers. You tether a Canon EOS R5, Sony Alpha A7 IV or Nikon Z8, sometimes Phase One or Hasselblad, over a TetherPro cable to a macOS station with CalDigit docks. You set aperture, shutter speed and ISO, frame products or models, then sort raw files, calibrate colour with X-Rite / Calibrite ColorChecker, tag metadata in Capture One Pro, Adobe Lightroom Classic and Adobe Photoshop, pack kits and message clients.
Shooting is only 15% to 25% of the day. 40% to 50% is post-production: colour correction, retouching, batch export. 25% to 35% is business and studio work: prep, transport, set breakdown, admin. Commercial shoots run 8 to 12 hours, weekend shoots are normal, with overnight edits when a campaign must go out by morning.
