How to be a good photography assistant?

First, be familiar with the use and maintenance of equipment. \x0d\ For young people who have just started to work as assistants, they must first understand the manuals for cameras and lights, and then think about how to learn to improve their photography. If they don’t even understand the equipment in their hands, even if they learn a certain amount in the future, At this level, you will still get stuck on these basic issues. In addition, equipment maintenance also needs to be learned. Nowadays, I often see some photographers or assistants who don’t even know the most basic equipment maintenance knowledge. To be honest, I really sweat it for their bosses and leave the camera casually. It is common for the camera body and lens to be covered with dust, and the lamp head suddenly falls due to the light stand not being tightened properly. Learning to take good care of the equipment is actually cultivating a serious and careful attitude in your work. \x0d\ Second, diligence is the best and fastest way to learn. \x0d\ Before shooting, arrange the studio according to the photographer's requirements, stay with the photographer during the shooting, assist the photographer in guiding the client's beauty, adjust the lighting, and tidy up the studio after the shooting is completed. In fact, in this process, regardless of whether the photographer teaches or not, you can already learn many things. \x0d\ Third, be knowledgeable and read more. Don’t always think that just because the photographer can take pictures, you need to dabble in many aspects of knowledge. Being an assistant will be very tiring, especially during the peak season, but don’t just chat or play online all day long when you can rest. For games, you can read more books and movies that can improve your cultural accomplishment, listen to some elegant music other than pop music, etc. You must first develop a desire for art mentally, and you will get closer and closer to art in action.
