What can a photo assistant in a studio learn?

According to your description, I feel that you have a certain photographic foundation. (composition, exposure, etc. But these are just some theories in the practical application of the studio, only a small part. Personally, I think what I can learn depends on whether I have the heart to see and discover.

According to my own experience, I think you can learn the following:

I can learn how to communicate with guests. For example, whether the guests are picky, what style they like, and how to please the guests for their own shooting.

Second, beauty. Just POSE, taking pictures is not dry shooting, not everyone is a model, and there are many actions that need the guidance and teaching of photographers. Guests may be nervous or too emotional. If you hold the camera, can you control them to shoot according to your process and your idea?

Third, lighting. It's not just lighting a lamp. What kind of light does a chubby face shine, and what kind of light does an angular face shine? What kind of light is warm, what kind of light is sexy, and how to control the light ratio of skin color and background when shooting on location.

Fourth, use lenses with different focal lengths. Wide angle, telephoto, big head, shoulder image, chest circumference .........................................................................................................................................................

The above are some technical things, and the following are macro:

First, the process of the studio. Order-shooting (make-up, clothes selection, shooting)-retouching-film selection, the actual process is much more complicated than this, one depends on the mouth, the other on words and deeds, and the middle is technical work.

Second, how to make a profit. For example, how much does it cost to add a photo, how many square meters to print per photo, and how much is the difference? Give another simple example, labor, rent, electricity. ...

By the way, now let you touch your camera. Do you think the photos you took satisfied the guests? Or if you were the boss, would you let a new photo assistant touch the camera? If you don't show that you can be a photographer, why should others give you the treatment of a photographer? It may sound uncomfortable, but I worked as an assistant photographer for 1 year, and now I am the director of photography, which is true.
