I found his website and sent an email explaining that I was a color correcter & retoucher and I was looking for work. A few days later my phone rang. I answered and he was like....."Dean? This is Stephen Hicks" - and I couldn't believe it. He wanted to meet with me and discuss some projects that he had coming up.
Long story short - he hired me as a color correcter & retoucher and I also assisted him on his shoots for a year (he had 3 assistants at that time). It was shit money but the experience made up for it. I shot actor headshots on the side to make extra money so I could pay my bills and stay with Stephen as long as I could and continue to learn from "the man"! It was hard & difficult but definitely worth it in the long run.
