Digital techs provide two general services. They give you, your crew and client all of the data you need to turn your creative ideas into real photos for your client and take care of all the dirty digital work you don’t have time to do while shooting. By continuously checking the image quality and keeping the crew informed with the correct images on the monitors, the tech helps you be more productive and accurate than any photographer in the pre-digital era. After helping you create the look you want for your images, they organize, name, back-up and distribute the images to the client’s requirements. Experienced digital techs are expensive, but the growth of the digital tech role has allowed photoshoots to reach productivity rates that were once unimaginable.
