Working With a Digital Technician - with Sam Royston

Sam Royston is a London based Digital Technician (aka a digi tech), and someone I've had the pleasure of working with on a few jobs. I asked him to come on the show this week to chat all things digital technician!

He answers questions like:

- what is the essential kit all photographers need as a minimum?

- how should a digi and photographer work together?

- what hard drives should we be using?

- what even is a digital technician?!
