Terry Schroth

Terry received her first camera for her 10th birthday and was printing in her high school darkroom at age 14. It was the beginning of a career in photography and film. She shot sports and candids for her elementary, high school and college yearbooks and newspapers and while in college traveled on weekends to shoot professional dance competitions around the US. She graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelors degree in Photography and soon landed a job as Photographer for the first Glamour Shots, helping to establish their "look" and "method". She later worked as a Still Assistant before this position led to her recruitment as a camera loader. She worked as a 2nd AC in Houston before moving to Los Angeles where she continued to work on many features and tv shows. (see resume) Throughout this time she remained an active photographer, shooting headshots for friends, location photos for various productions as needed, traveling the globe to shoot travel photos which she continues to sell in various galleries around the US and abroad. While an AC she began to pursue the position of Camera Operator. She has worked on numerous low-budget shorts, industrials, and specs, honing her skills for the time when she might move up the Union ladder to Camera Operator. After 18 years in the Union, she officially made the move to operator, and is now living in Atlanta, in pursuit of that dream.
