Do photographers call assistants?

Generally, commercial photography requires a photography assistant. The responsibilities of a photography assistant are to manage, coordinate, gather, and arrange photography equipment, props, lighting, etc. according to the photographer's wishes. They are also responsible for arranging the shooting schedule, coordinating the shooting scene, and other matters, and ultimately assist the photographer to complete the shooting task.

1. Rigorous photography tasks such as general commercial portrait photography, architectural photography, documentary photography, and ecological photography require a large amount of equipment and auxiliary photography supplies. It is difficult for the photographer to carry it alone. At this time, an assistant is needed. 2. If a lot of photographic equipment is used at the same time, assistants will also be needed to assist the photographer in numbering, storage, layout, etc.

3. For subjects that require the cooperation of the subject, the assistant also needs to coordinate the shooting time, book the shooting schedule, communicate with the subject, and coordinate with other auxiliary photography positions such as makeup artists. 4. Photo material and video material management is also very important. Larger photography projects usually require assistants to assist with material summary management and safe backup.

5. Post-production selection of photos and simple post-production editing are also tasks that many assistants need to assist photographers with.
