Is there a future as a photography assistant?

1, the photography assistant actually assists the photographer to complete the shooting, and the work he is responsible for is extremely complicated and trivial. In addition to the most basic camera operation, he also needs to serve the photographer, take the reflector, set the shooting background, arrange the photographer's daily work, and maintain the equipment. Sometimes you even need to help the photographer order lunch boxes.

2. Under normal circumstances, photography assistants rarely have the opportunity to use cameras, and basically do not complete shooting independently. However, photographers usually teach some basic photography knowledge after working as photography assistants, so they can still learn a lot from this position and lay the foundation for their future career development.

3. Photographic assistants are just a springboard for most people to become photographers. For those who have not received professional training, being a photography assistant can expose them to photography, the most professional equipment, and even learn a lot of practical operation and experience of photography to prepare for their career development.

At the same time, as a photography assistant, you can also apply the theoretical knowledge you have learned in school to practice, and combine the theoretical knowledge you have learned from books with practice, so as to improve your photography level and get some photography opportunities. Moreover, you can gain your own contacts by being a photography assistant and accumulate more potential customers for becoming a photographer in the future.

Extended data

In addition, the photography assistant should know the performance of the equipment you use. Just like a photographer, you have to have an effect picture in your mind before you run out. Even in digital photography, you should repeatedly study and measure the position and index of light to ensure that your photographer has a high success rate of pressing the shutter.

Don't always ask questions such as "Is the lighting position in this line" and "Is the indicator appropriate" at work. These questions are all done by a photographer, but only if you and your photographer have a good understanding. Here, you need to communicate often in private.
