Technology Consulting For Photographers
If you’re an established photographer I can help you optimize your use of technology in a way that is complimentary with the way you work.
Why Me
I’m a photographer with a deep background in technology including 25 years of experience in the IT industry. I’ve worked at Bell Labs, AT&T and Sun Microsystems as well as a few smaller companies. I’ve written software, developed new products and business models, hacked gadgets, designed large scale architectures for Enterprise clients, worked with global outsourcers, and have spent the last 15 years working with customers to solve their technology problems. I’m also very proficient in networking, security, wireless communications, UNIX, Windows and of course, Macs. You can read more about me in my bio, or view my professional profile.
My experience, deep technical knowledge and creativity make me very well qualified to help with your technology challenges.
My Services
I’ll observe you on your actual projects, watch how you work and see where your challenges are. We’ll discuss your objectives and what you want to improve. This is an iterative, quick and non-intrusive process that leverages knowledge, ingenuity, spontaneity and creativity to solve technology problems and enhance your business. In order for this to be effective, you’ll need to make me part of your team. I’m low key and non-intrusive, but I will ask a lot of questions.
When the issues, challenges and ideas are clear, we’ll look at what to change. I’ll make suggestions, discuss implications, and you pick what’s right for you. Above all, I’ll make sure the solution is complimentary with the way you work. Sometimes new ideas change the way you look at things and therefore how you work, but that’s always your choice.
Here are some of the more common things we may look at:
- Building a reliable, and resilient backup strategy
- Optimizing your digital workflow (in studio and on-location)
- Collaboration and networking across a distributed team
- Using existing web-based services effectively to run your business
