Looking for anyone who is interested in working as a freelance assistant. No experience is needed as I will be providing the training. What is important is the attitude, the willingness to learn, to work hard and smart.

Selected people will be trained in studio operation and equipment handling. I would like to have a few people whom I can rely on whenever there is a need for assistants.

There is no strings attached to this, these people are free to work with any other photographer. I will pass your contacts to other photographers or agencies, the rest will depend on your karma.

Preference will be given to those who can work during office hours. Those who can drive will have an advantage. People who knows where to find good food will be placed on top priority.

:D

kindly e-mail your particulars and contact info to enquiry@aubepictures.com
 

Can you advise on the following :

a. what is expected as a freelance assistant
b. what does your studio operation and equipment handling refers to

thanx
 

Hi Iceman,

a good assistant is the eyes, ears and hands to the photographer. He/she should be able to anticipate what the photographer needs before, during and after a shoot. These skills cannot be fully taught but can be learned. Also the needs of photographer differs from one to another.

The scope of work will basically be manual labour, to carry things around, to help with the set up, at times act as a coffeee boy :confused:

At the moment, I will provide some basic skills in setting up of lightings, how to take metering, give advice on what to look out for during a shoot and so on and so on.

This is essentially to build up a network of support and in no way a commercial venture. People whom I feel I would like to work with in future I will keep them in mind and use their services when needed. I will also refer them to other photographers I know when they need an assistant.

How much they can earn will very much depend on the demand and supply. I do not wish to get involved in that.

Another thing to add, for those who are interested pls e-mail a brief resume to make things easier.

Thanx.
