Crew Member for Hire
C&P music educationI love to work gigs with other professionals as part of their photo or video crew. When I arrive on site, my mission is to not just fulfill my role but to help the entire shoot succeed and to make the lead photographer’s job easier. I am always looking for ways to give the client an outstanding experience while also helping the lead crew member’s day proceed as smoothly as possible.
Whether my role for the day is big or small, my goal is to make your production a success. I typically work on smaller photo and video shoots with crew sizes ranging from 2-10 members. My areas of experience include event coverage (photo/video), documentary-style interview videos, event photo booth / red carpet photo stations, high-volume professional headshots, and more. My roles have ranged from production assistant to lead photographer/videographer and many things in between: key grip, teleprompter operation, audio roles, and second shooting. I am also a certificated sUAS pilot (14 CFR Part 107) and have filled a number of roles on drone photo and video shoots, as Remote Pilot In Command, Visual Observer, or Director of Photography.
"Peter has supported my business as a licensed drone operator, a second camera operator, and a photo booth photographer. He is professional, kind, and easy to work with. I would recommend him to any photographer who needs a great partner/assistant during a photo or video project!"
- Evan Cobb, Cobb Creative
“Over the years, I've lost count of how many projects have been saved or made because of having Peter Metzger on the crew. When crewing your next photo, video, or audio client's project, check Peter's availability for whatever your crew's need is.”
- Adam Raschka, Adam Robert Creative
