Great video. Would love to see a video about becoming an assistant. What should they be expected to know?

@AMBERGORDON-sf7nq 3 месяца назад

I'm very interested in any content you might make about breaking into assisting or how to go about assisting as a new photographer

@kennethnielsen3864 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing.

@dangilmore9724 3 месяца назад

Ive hires assistants that were so good at what they did that i hired them again as a "co-photographer" for additional shoots.

@pedroferreirabass 3 месяца назад

Great video as always!! I would like to see a video on what is needed to be a great assistant!!! Thank you

@AndrewBassonZA 3 месяца назад

yes please some content about photo assistants could be handy, mainly so I can show them to some one this side that I am looking to perhaps hire as a full time assistant

Love your thought process on this. Everyone, think of assistants as your #1 - I tend to use Cinema Production Assistants with photography background. I pay $200-$250. I will also use assistants on non shoot days, prep, build, clean, etc... As to when to pay, absolutely pay them end of day. I have some that work with me often and I pay them weekly.

Thanks Daniel, great video ... I am getting into photography very late (I'm 70!) it would be fun to learn as an assistant, but I am currently living in Colombia, so not very practical.Looking forward to more videos - Thanks again!

I'm a scatterbrain and have had priceless and worthless assistance. I've also had models who'd act in that capacity during a shoot. In an ideal situation, I want to be able to just focus on the shoot and know that the assistant will take care of the rest. A GOOD assistant should anticipate what you need and stay engaged throughout the photo shoot and not their PHONE. It really helps when the assistant is a talented photographer or artist. I've also had assistants who just enjoy contributing to the creative process. If I could turn back time, I would've been an assistant, I could've saved a lot of time learning the hard way. Back in my day when everything was "groovy" an accomplished photographer would've been honored that someone would ask, when it's the assistant that the honor would be bestowed on.

Thanks for the great info, Daniel. I've used assistants in the past but have never been sure if you should specifically bill your client for them or just keep the payment of an assistant separate from the client invoicing.

@blueridgepics 3 месяца назад

Yes, great information as always. I like what you say about taking care of the assistant. I also do the same because I want them to want to work with me again when I need them and it's simply doing the right thing. Thank you, Daniel!!!

Great video! Not much about about this topic. Thanks for sharing. 😃

@dukeofurl999 3 месяца назад

Really fine work, thanks for sharing your experience. I wonder if photo schools look for this sort of tutorial to add to their curriculum?

I'm kind of a brat photographer and even when i know the shooting may not require an assistant, I'm bringing mine no matter what, in my particular case i trained my oldest son and he not only understand the job (sometimes better than me) but is fully aware of what is needed and when to provide it. is like I'm thinking to change angle and want another lens he will have it on his hand before i even look at him, offer me discreetly ideas to not intervene between me and my client, i pay him full rate which in my country is around 100usd it can be full day or half he is getting that amount and if the client is big ill bump a little extra when is possible, the main thing is when i have to shoot alone is boring, not the same smooth experience and i feel i don't even want to do it, so yes, an assistant can bring more than just help to a shoot.

Hi Daniel, great video. You mentioned rates from the 90's. What are today's rates?

I couldn't make it without my assistant. She understands photography and lighting, what I'm looking for out of each production, how to catalog well, how my filesystem works! She's also active in the Army Reserve - punctual 100%. Absolutely couldn't make it without her. Great points and well done as always, Daniel. Thank you!
