About this listen

 Colleen Laffey is an American Camera Operator whose credits include Love is Blind, World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji, American Grit, Capture, Master Chef, Jersey Shore, The Bachelorette, Kings of Pain, Are You The One, and MotoMaidens. She has, she says, become obsessed with photography, it’s her drug of choice and gets in her flow state when she’s shooting. Colleen was born in Pittsburgh, PA in 1960, the oldest of three children—she has a brother, Marty, and sister Maureen. Her mother, Dale was a homemaker, and her father Marty a bank loan officer. Colleen’s childhood was largely spent outdoors and when it came time to graduate from High School she chose to attend the Art Institute of Pittsburgh where she graduated with an Associate Degree in Photography. From there she began working in outdoor recreation as a still photographer, a river guide, video kayaker, ski instructor and ski patrol. She worked 4 years at WVPB, and chance opportunity to run camera on a large show changed the course of her career, and at the age of 44 she settled into the unscripted TV industry becoming a sought-after camera operator. Colleen lives in Fayetteville, WV, in a house she designed, and in her spare time she can be found mountain biking or whitewater kayaking.
