What's the difference between a makeup assistant and a photography assistant?

I am a fashion photographer, so I often contact many photographers and makeup artists. As far as I know, it's very difficult for a girl to be a photography assistant, because many photographers don't want to photograph a girl, because all the photography lights are heavy. Our brown outdoor lamp weighs dozens of kilograms, and sometimes men can't carry it. Therefore, girls have an advantage as photo assistants. Unless you pay the tuition and become a student, it may be easier. You can consider learning from some photographers and makeup artists in the fashion world, so you can learn more, which is different from ordinary photo studios. In Beijing, the salary of an assistant is generally 500 to 800 for a makeup assistant, occasionally 1000, but rarely. Photographic assistants are generally 800 to 65,438+0,500, and professional assistants are occasionally 2000. Assistant is a handyman, strictly speaking, it does not create value, what commission is there? I give my assistant some bonuses according to the monthly workload, because he will also repair some small films and shoot some small things for me.
