Aaron Alpert

My name is Aaron and I work full time as a Digital / Equipment Manager at a major commercial photo studio in Los Angeles, California. My main responsibility for my job is to rent incredibly expensive, high-end professional camera equipment to major photo productions for world-renowned photographers, major commercial photo productions and advertising campaigns. 

This job requires me to know everything about cameras and equipment which over the years has made me an industry expert. Along with consulting, renting and maintaining cameras for my day job, I also work as a freelance photographer, filmmaker and now Skillshare teacher on my nights and weekends! I’m really excited to share all my knowledge and help you develop as a photographer and as an artist!

My Work:

A few months back I released my first YouTube video for a new photography series I've created called "Film Experiments With Friends". In this episode, I use the Olympus AF-1 point and shoot camera that I purchased in my Skillshare class "Buy Your First Camera: The Art Of Buying Used Cameras On Ebay!". Come along with me as I shoot one roll of Kodak Ektachrome with my friend Elyse!

Had a blast directing, editing and shooting this Concert Video in collaboration with Peridot and Rebel Hard Coffee for the Holiday Season. What a joy to work with these two incredibly talented musicians and people!  

I shot and directed this music video earlier this year, I used a vintage broadcast TV camera to achieve the dreamy VHS effect.
