Antonio Wright
Bridgeville
Summary
I am a graduate of the first MediaMKRS grip training course held in Pittsburgh in 2022 and am an IATSE permit holder in grip and electric.
I graduated from Point Park University in 2010 with a degree in photography, and significant work there and at Pittsburgh Filmmakers in video and film, as well. Over the past seven years, I have freelanced as a professional photographer, doing weddings and graduation portraits on a contract basis. I have extensive experience with studio lighting, as well as on-location lighting. I've also done freelance press work, including coverage of the 2009 Pittsburgh G-20 Summit (front page, above fold for The Almanac newspaper). My work has also recently appeared in the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Joy of Christmas.
