How to be an excellent photography assistant?

As far as my personal experience is concerned, I quite agree with the word "initiative" mentioned in Master of Surprise. In fact, it is not only a photography assistant, but also a pioneering work in any industry. And to put it more popularly, it is to "have life in your eyes." I have been an assistant for a long time (now I do it occasionally). When the photographer takes pictures, I am alone with the movie lamp holder, tripod and cosmetic box. It looks like I'm covered in heavy equipment. Sometimes photographers are embarrassed and want to share some with me. I always say that I come from a gas tank, which can be done. Photographers should take the initiative to pay attention to some details when they start shooting, such as the surrounding environment, the model's clothing makeup and so on. If the lighting is not arranged, he should ask the photographer in advance and communicate with him clearly. Don't wait for the photographer to finish shooting before giving instructions. So normal photographers will think you are good. If you want to learn photography and ask some questions, they are generally willing to answer your questions, and you will improve quickly.
