what i can suggest is to email your favourite photographer and ask if they have any vacancies.
 

just to compile a list of assistants (full time/freelance). please do not add yourself to the list if you're not assisting yet! :) i'm in the midst of trying to plan a get-together if you guys will be interested. to network and make more friends!

thanks for offering work to aspiring photog assistants! But i'd appreciate if you can post in the right sub forums and you can get more response there as well! :)

thanks ben for the suggestion. i guess i'd leave it to them if they want to leave their own contacts.. i can be reached at my signature. :)
 

Hmmm i was thinking.

While we're here talking about being assistants. Why not discuss about the ethics and behavious an assistant should uphold while doing an assisting job?

I am bringing this up because, I have experienced before things such as, the assistant
giving out his own name cards during shoots, telling my client to call him in future should they require photography services. So perhaps a discussion could be done on this as well?

yes.. And i was thinking of sharing such experiences/topics during meetups. In fact i think professional photogs who start as assistant should also join and help facilitate the meetup! Right now i need a sizable number of group..

wah your PA very daring. that's a no-no thing to do :nono:. the PA is under the orders of the photographer, so unless the photographer allows him to do that then he should just do the job of assisting.

hey drumma, you can add me up to the PA list! i've mostly done commercial, studio and corporate shoots. :)
 

Just saw this thread.... I can be a PA freelance/part-time if you guys need any help. Thanks. Can pm me or contact at 81636892. Thx.
