How to become a qualified photography assistant,

Before you start shooting, you should know what the "task" is and what the photographer's thinking should be. Then check whether all the lights are working normally, adjust the lights to the required indicators, whether the camera is working normally until it flashes, whether the battery is fully charged, whether the memory card is installed, and get ready to replace the spare card. Check whether all lenses are stained, pump all lenses to prevent stains (good for later stage), and take all lenses away. This is the preparation work.

Keep all nerves at the shooting scene when shooting, and don't slip away like a class. Observe the model, lighting position and photographer's requirements at any time, take what the photographer wants before he exits, adjust the distortion of the model's clothes in time, correct the wrong lighting in time, and follow the model. Put away the cards that have been taken and those that have not been taken, and don't confuse them. Be sure to hold what you have when shooting. Don't panic even if the scene is busy. Every step should be steady, so as to ensure the safety of shooting equipment and avoid mistakes. Only in this way can you save the photographer's time. Saving time for photographers means saving time for customers. Saving time for customers means creating benefits for your team and giving photographers space and time to play until the end of shooting.

After the shooting, all the lights should be turned off, cleaned and stabilized. The cameras and lenses used by photographers should be checked for bumps, installed and stabilized. Then clean up the shooting scene. This is an indoor shoot.

Outdoor shooting:

When shooting outdoors, you should bring all the equipment before you leave in the early stage to check whether there are any omissions. Example: How many lamps should I bring? Are there any necessary parts on the lamp: wires, soft boxes, spare bulbs, reflectors, connecting wires for flashlights, and whether there is enough power in the light box (there are also some small parts such as beehives and color films that can or can not be taken, depending on the shooting needs.
