What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end photo production—capturing, managing vendors and timelines, and collaborating closely with clients and creatives in a calm, structured workflow.

I’m a photographer and project manager with 10+ years coordinating end-to-end productions for commercial clients and creative businesses, from pre-production planning to final delivery. I manage vendors, talent booking, travel, and detailed timelines, while staying organized and proactive—especially when pressure is high.

In my current role as a Photography and Production Specialist, I serve as an in-house photographer for high-volume product, campaign, and lifestyle shoots, handling image capture plus post-production (retouching, color grading, and delivery). I’m also an Owner/Photographer running Tia Byington Photography, producing commercial and editorial work for brands, artists, and Broadway productions, and I’ve been published in The New York Times.
