I’m Tim Olsen, a professional freelance photo assistant and photographer for over thirteen years in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States working on commercial photo shoots for advertising, editorial, and corporate. I am also an experienced studio manager, film grip, and digital imaging tech. In my free time I enjoy reading, hiking, ice hockey, biking, coffee, and people-watching.

If you have an upcoming shoot you need help with, please email me with your dates and specific needs.

A Photo Assistant is all about being a great photo assistant. I have assembled my experience, along with different resources I have found, to help photo assistants, emerging photographers, photographers, and other creative professionals in the photo industry to work better and smarter.
