Wanted : Part-time Photographer's Assistant

Azure · 31st July 2007

Am looking for a part-time Photographer Assistant, ideally, one who can work with me from early-Sep 07 till mid-2008.

Work requirements :-
1 - You must be able to help carry my lights and stands.
2 - You must be a fast & willing learner.
3 - You must be able to work as early as 7.00am, and sometimes as later as 8.00pm.
4 - You will be expected to help on-site with some recording, outdoors.
5 - You are expected to be punctual and responsible.
6 - I prefer those without prior knowledge/experience, with no preference for male/female/race.
7 - All assignments are on WEEKDAYS ONLY. Frequency average once a week, may come in 2-day durations.

Your work will be primarily people portraits (individual/group), though a demonstrably good PA may be given a chance to tag along for my non-portrait-based assignments.

My previous PAs have turned out a prize-winner of the Singapore Young Architecture Photographer Award (SYPA) and a couple others who've gotten their training photos selected for national exhibitions. Another former PA has since gone on attachment with a wedding photog friend. That is a measure of how far I'd help my people to grow. That said, it takes TWO hands to clap.

If you are interested, and think you fit the bill, send me an email (to web@photonx.net) with the following details :-
- Your full name, and your nick on CS
- Age
- Where you stay (eg Woodlands, Jurong, Redhill, Tampines)
- Your contact tel/hp/email
- What you are doing now (NSF, Poly, ITE, working)
- Your expectations and aspirations if any
- Related skills/experience (if any)
- Any design/layout skills (not a requisite)

Shall be looking forward to seeing your replies. Do note that only complete applications (to the list of info above) will be entertained. I shall email or call to arrange a casual meet-up (on a weekday) with those shortlisted. This will be anytime from 13 Aug onwards.

Please direct all queries and comments privately to me as I do not come online regularly.

* Kindly refrain from posting OT. Thank you.

Azure · 2nd August 2007

Just to add - I ignore incomplete emails, too.

Azure · 4th August 2007

Keep the emails coming, I'll be closing this on 13 Aug and shortlisting thereafter.

sin77 · 4th August 2007

do u need someone to work on Sat/Sun for you?
I can commit for long term during weekends.

Azure · 4th August 2007

And a reminder - please read the first post at the start of this thread. All other nonsense shall be ignored.

Azure · 6th August 2007

A bump up for the evening.

Azure · 8th August 2007

Do note that I shall be shortlisting the first batch by Friday morning.

Meanwhile, do keep your emails coming!

All the best to everyone!

Azure · 9th August 2007

Those who've emailed us, do note that some of you will be receiving an email w.r.t. meeting up with us within the next 24 hours. And the meet-up will be on either Mon, Tue or Wed of the coming week, as I shall be busy after that. Hope to see some of you then.

Azure · 10th August 2007

I shall be meeting two individuals on Mon, and then probably another two more on Wed.

Meanwhile, others who may be interested, you are still welcome to send in. If there are more good people than I need, I shall pass you on to fellow photographers in similar lines of work. All the best!

Bumping this thread up again as the ones shortlisted earlier have demonstrated attitude problems.

Those who have sent in earlier (to this ad only), you need not send in again.

Those are who still keen, though, please read my instructions and requirements at the top of this thread.

Thank you.

Azure · 8th September 2007

Please note that the assistant I am looking for is someone to help me with work. Not someone I will need to babysit.

Those looking to "...hone photography skills...", please look elsewhere.

For those who missed reading the start post of this thread, what I need is -

Upz for Azure. Hope you get a good PA soon.

I think people looking primarily to hone skills should stick to schools and clubs. Quite unfair for working professionals to risk their businesses so that the other person can trial-and-error.

sin77 · 9th September 2007

Does it mean that you pay by per assignment?
If i'm an office worker, means that I have to take leave as and when you call me up?
Normally how long in advance would you give notice?

Thanks.

Azure · 9th September 2007

Thanks, Roninwolf. I wish you the very best in your efforts too.

As for any other comments and questions, direct them to my PM box. I like my thread clean of all nonsense.

Have already met with several of those who emailed me so far.
