Graham Wichman started his career in New York by working as a photography assistant and then as a set design assistant on many editorial and advertising photo shoots. He did everything from painting backdrops to fabricating props. He then made the move to film and television where he worked as an assistant and a shopper for various set decorators. Graham has spent the past few years decorating his own projects, but enjoys jumping around as both an assistant and a buyer in between jobs. Recently, Graham has worked on film and television projects in places such as Budapest, London and Spain.
As well as being a set decorator, Graham is a Fine Arts photographer. He spent this past summer in Spain where he worked on a personal project of his own. He has been busy shooting portraits and still life photos from all over the country. He is also currently working on his first photography book about Eastern European flea market culture.
Graham has worked with Newel Props on notable projects like The Loudest Voice, The Affair, The Americans, and Louie. Earlier this summer, Graham stopped by Newel Props to source some props, specifically picture frames, for the upcoming film On the Rocks, and while he was here we asked him some fun facts about himself.
