hello guys and gals!
i'm glad that there are alot more P.A in this forum!
i'm really fortunate to be free-lancing as a P.A for a really great(as a guy) and experienced photographer. was introduced to him by my uncle and has been assisting him since early last year. he taught me alot about lightings and composition and, communicating with clients.
he also showed me alot of stuff that i never knew existed(i'm totally 35mm format only) and i'm given a pretty decent pay(if u wanna know, PM me), enough for me to be happy and contended! i'm being paid on a day to day basis. half day or full day + O.T.
but i really hate carrying all those heavy set-ups. they are really HEAVY!
as to what many have pointed out, photo assisting really opened my eyes to a different world of photography. there are many genres and styles and different techniques. it kind of set ur perspective on what type of photography u really want to do. :thumbsup:
and the best of it all, its something that i'm really interested in(and getting paid for it!)
!
and, S$200/day is way too good, ruth! envious!
regards,
cheesy
