How to be a photographer's assistant

First of all, you should understand the job of a photography assistant.

1, help the photographer arrange the lights. This is generally based on the photographer's need to move the position of the lamp and adjust the intensity of the light. You need to know something about the operation of lights, intensity knobs and lamp holder knobs. But also quickly understand, add and subtract intentions. This requires the long-term cooperation of your master.

2. For models, subjects and corrective actions, you need to know the beauty. You can find many beauty sketches on the internet, which need to be adjusted according to the actual size of MT.

3, to mobilize the atmosphere, you have to take the initiative.

4. Then be flexible. You are the servant of the photographer in the studio, so you should do what you see.

The assistant's goal is definitely towards the main shot, so you must understand the theory of photography. The best theoretical textbook, the New York Institute of Photography, is basically the assembly line operation of most commercial portrait studios. After the theme is decided, the photographer basically makes a composition, presses the shutter, and has to put the theory on.

Wages vary greatly from place to place, and so do photo studios.
