What should a photographer's assistant do

I suggest you go to a professional school to study. You really don't want to learn basic skills first. Buy a textbook of the New York Institute of Photography (the first two books 198 are not discounted, but basically discounted). After reading it, you will understand it (so that you can get started quickly).

If you can't learn anything in a small studio, you will be too tired to study in a big studio. I've been doing it for a while. You have to understand that photography assistants do not only photography assistants, but also many things that have nothing to do with photography (more than you can imagine).

If the work intensity of the builder is 10, then the work intensity of the photography assistant can be reduced to 9.9999. Photographer 15 or above (large and medium-sized studios)

I am now working as an assistant in a medium-sized photo studio. Fireworks should be set off to celebrate after work at 6 o'clock, hehe (off-season). It's normal to get off work after 8.9 o'clock. 1 1 o'clock is very frequent, and photographers are more tired than us. What do you think he will be in the mood to teach you well? Our assistant is actually very relaxed, because the photographer takes pictures (we are just tired of physical strength, and the photographer is tired of not only physical strength, but also brain and heart, as we all know), and we are just helping (no matter how good the photographer assistant is, you are just an assistant, and you will never understand the photographer's fatigue unless one day your teacher throws you a camera to ask you to take a guest photo, hehe). Don't think about eating on time. It's good that this group of guests haven't finished filming the next couple. Then your teacher will ask you to prepare the next scene and repeat it. You can take time to have a glass of water and go to the toilet.

I left a lot of assistants before, and I left a lot of assistants after I came. Photographers can take pictures without an assistant (but the work intensity is at least doubled). Having a good assistant is twice as easy (in fact, it is still half busy).
