I want to be a photographer, but I know I have to start as an assistant. Does the studio need petite girls as assistants?

Hello, I'm a photographer working in the studio. I was also an assistant photographer at first. I think I can answer some of your questions.

Photographic assistants are basically handymen, that is, carrying lights and scenery ... even if they move, the maintenance is simple ... many of them are manual work, so there are not many photo studios that generally accept female assistants because they are less capable. Other advertising photography threshold requirements are higher, and relationships may be better. If it doesn't matter, you must be quite lucky Because they don't always recruit people. So it's a bit difficult to find a job as a photography assistant. But it is not impossible, the key is to persist!

If you can, you can go to some photography schools, and the cost is not so cheap, about 10 thousand yuan. You can learn a lot of basic knowledge Of course, don't expect too much when you leave school. It is still early. Photography is a practical art. It is useful to shoot more and learn more. These schools generally recommend jobs. Also, in fact, photographers don't need a photographer's license now, unless they are journalists.

About PS, my advice to you is to master it! If you want to make greater progress, don't ignore PS. Some people say that PS photos deviate from the true meaning of photography or something. Don't listen to that. Nowadays, photography is basically impossible without PS (some people don't use P, but they are usually landscape films). There are many tutorials online, so you must learn them. Later you will find that it seems useless, but later, you will find that some things are actually very useful. Of course, this means that you have made progress. That's how I learned. Nobody taught me.

I want to ask you why you want to be a commercial photographer, do you want to be a professional or just for hobbies? Photographers in the studio are not so comfortable. What they want is skilled and stable work efficiency. It's no fun after a long time. Of course, it is also good to use this as a springboard to prepare for a wider range of photography in the future. I sincerely hope that you can become an excellent photographer.
