Network for photographers' assistants


Hi guys,

Can I join in the network? Just made the switch into photography myself recently. Currently on the lookout for entry position into photography. I have some experience with makeover/glamour shots.

Do let me know if there's any gathering or happening here.
Thanks, Nice meeting you all.

the road won't be easy, but let's keep up one another's morale through this thread :)

hey, ya hor .. nobody suggested a gathering yet :D
 

ling13 and i have been thinking about a gathering of sorts for photographers' assistants for some time now.

is anyone interested? :D
 

I hope that all the assistant photographer can meet up to share their story with us. :)

Hav enot plan where to meet cos we want to know how many ppl will be able to meet up.The meeting will be at weekend.. :thumbsup:
 

i guess there are more pros than assistants here?? :bsmilie:
 

so far, i have received a couple of PMs expressing their interest in joining .. anybody else?

we are open to all~ just come with an open heart!

come on guys, we can make it! :D i have to rush down to work even on Sunday, after my thrice weekly 2-3 hr IPPT RT session, and i've been down with flu for the past week.. and i'm not complaining :p
 

heya......
kinda curious
and a bit lazy to read the previous posts...
wat is dis gathering abt?
i might be interested
and has anyone emailed dat guy who is looking for assistants??
 

i have a suggestion actually...

instead of having a gathering where we just sit around and talk...(i know it might be awkward for some of us, especially if it's a large group...and i know i'm a shy kind of person)... we can have a mission-based shoot.

meaning to say, we can mock-up a client's brief for a shoot, say, an architectural interior shoot, product shoot, or even fashion shoot... and everybody will get a turn directing and photographing the shoot, while the rest of us can be the assistants.

at the end of the day, we will submit the pictures to an independent panel of judges (eg. Clubsnap members) for critique.


what say you guys?
 

I think that is a great ideal. :thumbsup:
