Photo Assistant, Digital Tech
Lana Dubkova
People, Portrait, Architecture, Fashion, Beauty, Prod. Assistant
Know How:
Hi, I’m Lana! I’m an eager and dependable photo assistant with a strong sense of integrity. Small but mighty: I have tons of energy! Happy to be on my feet all day and stay fit. I freelance full-time and my schedule is flexible. While I have a background in photography, particularly portraits and events, this is paralleled with the efficiency, proactivity, and resourcefulness honed from my years of working as a C-suite Executive Assistant at fast-paced tech start-ups. I am queen of wearing many hats. This experience translates to anticipating your needs on set and ensuring a smooth workflow. I won’t yap up your clients. I’m not above coffee runs. I’ve never dropped a lens. I’m here to help in whatever way I can.
You can learn more about me here and read some reviews of my work: www.nycphotoassistant.com
I’m an active member of APA and ASMP. I majored in Photography at Drexel University. I’m always seeking opportunities to learn and grow and have actively expanded my skillset through continuing education courses on
lighting at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) and the APA Photo Assistant Intensive Workshop.
Passport ready and open to travel.
I love meeting new creatives and would love to be considered to help bring your vision to life.

I have some digitech experience but as I don’t have a car, I would prefer to work with photographers with their own digital capture set.
