Hello, I'd like to ask, what's the situation of the photography assistant now, and what's the salary?

Assist the official photographer to complete the shooting work. Different photography industries have photography assistants with different jobs, even in the same photography job, there may be many photography assistants with different division of labor, such as portrait wedding photos, portraits and other indoor photography jobs. There are generally three kinds of photography assistants, specifically lighting photography assistants and modeling photography assistants, and the other is responsible for some assistant work except lighting and modeling.

To do some auxiliary work for the photographer, the most important thing is to guess the photographer's intention, and sometimes the task is done even before the photographer speaks.

Another principle of being a photographer's assistant is never to ask a photographer's client if he can offer himself a chance to become a photographer, so you may be fired.

What photography assistants need to learn: photographic optics, the construction and maintenance of photographic equipment, photographic composition, lighting knowledge, post-pictures and so on.

Learn from aperture, shutter, focal length and sensitivity in a down-to-earth manner, and then learn to stabilize the camera. These are the basic skills, and then the composition. You can practice composing with anything, even a mobile phone and four fingers.

The photo assistant's salary is not high, and he has never done this in his life.
