Soft photography assistant

Let me introduce you. I majored in photography. I graduated this year. In my junior year, I began to move to major photo studios and studios, photography assistants and photographers, and later I also had jobs.

As a fresh graduate, even if you are a professional like me, you have to work as a photography assistant when you go to the studio. Because you haven't done it before, people don't trust your skills and communication. You have no professional training, but sometimes your unique perspective and ideas will be better than those of professionals, but you may not be as skilled as photography, but it is ok to look at your photos.

If you go to a photo studio as a photography assistant in the summer vacation, some photo studios don't recruit summer jobs because you are here to study, not for a short time. But it is not impossible. You can say long-term work, but you just don't sign a contract.

Photography assistants can learn things, such as lighting control in the studio, communication skills with customers, beauty, workflow in the studio, post-color matching and so on. You can learn a lot as long as you are willing to learn. Indoor and outdoor portraits are ok, but they must be in a better place. If it's bad, forget it. I'm afraid I'll teach you bad. But the disadvantage of the studio is that it is rarely innovative, very modular, and it takes a long time to update things.

The road to photography can only be done step by step. I know a boss who studies graphic design. He started as a photography assistant. In fact, for you, the photo studio is not what you want, because there is no room for you to play my role. This is my personal feeling, because it is too modular, you can't innovate, and some customers can't appreciate your personalized photos, and they will think that your technology is not good.

But I suggest you go to the photo studio. I wonder what your salary is like? I didn't get paid in the first month. This is pure learning.
