How to be an excellent photography assistant?

First, be familiar with the use and maintenance of equipment.

Young people who have just entered the assistant position will first read the instructions on the use of cameras and lights, and then consider how to learn how to shoot and improve. Even if they don't know the equipment in their hands, even if they learn a certain level in the future, they will still get stuck in these basic problems. In addition, the maintenance of equipment also needs to be studied. Now I often see some photographers or assistants, and I don't even know the most basic knowledge of equipment maintenance. Seriously, I really worried about their boss and left the camera on the camera at will, which caused the lens of the fuselage to disappear in a large area, and the lamp holder suddenly fell off because the lamp holder was not tightened. Learning to maintain equipment is actually cultivating your serious and meticulous work attitude.

Second, diligence is the best and fastest way to learn.

Arrange the studio according to the photographer's requirements before shooting, stay with the photographer when shooting, assist the photographer to guide the customer's beauty, adjust the lighting, and tidy up the studio after shooting. In fact, in this process, let alone whether the photographer teaches or not, he can already learn a lot.

Third, study more. Don't always think that photographers can take pictures. You need to dabble in many aspects of knowledge. Being an assistant can be very tiring, especially in the peak season. But don't chat online or play games all day when you can have a rest. You can read more books and movies that can improve your cultural quality and listen to some elegant music other than pop music. Psychologically, you should cultivate your desire for art first, and you will be closer to the art palace in action.
