I worked as a photography assistant for a year, and I thought I could do it, so I went out and ran i

However, when you gradually mature in theory and practice, I think you should still study in a larger photography agency. The things you are exposed to as an assistant in a big photo studio are completely different from the things you are exposed to in the small photo studio where you are now. You have to broaden your horizons.

Increase your knowledge. Then, after you have matured there, you still have to go to a relatively formal school for further study. Some big studios see that you have the potential to cultivate, and will support you to study at public expense.

Good job, stick to your ideals.

That's very good, I have ideals, I find my favorite direction, I also like photography, but it's more amateurish, and I don't study systematically. Read more books, learn technology, and learn theory. If you have the conditions, it is better to go to the photo studio to study

It's normal to run into walls everywhere.

It is recommended that you produce your own work while working.

And you can submit articles to magazines and **.

But don't think that your work will be appreciated by others if it is good.

If you are too confident and express yourself too much when applying.

May be psychologically turned away by the boss...

The specific reasons are unknown, but it may be jealousy or distrust.

Photographic equipment is indeed very expensive, and photography, as an art subject, has high requirements for one's own aesthetic cultivation. There is no doubt that you must be able to shoot and practice often, practice makes perfect, and read more aesthetic books when you have nothing to do, such as Western art history, Chinese art history, Western photography history, etc. Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you are very interested and keep working hard, you will definitely succeed.

I'm studying photography in college now, and I think photography is actually a lot of fun.

I want to keep my current job and get a high salary.

It's perfectly fine to work while looking for a higher-paying photo studio, and once you find one, you can skip through.

Photographers are not easy to be. Photography is a very lucrative profession, and there are certain requirements for camera lenses. And it requires a certain level of technical proficiency, which is very unrealistic as a profession if it is not professional learning.

Let's change jobs. I'm studying photography as an undergraduate.

Hold on, at least, until you don't know what else to do.

Hello, I am an R&D assistant at Xi'an Absolut Photography Group.

I quote someone from a paragraph: the job of the photographer's assistant is very simple, in fact, the general assistant is to help with the hands, such as taking the reflector, arranging the photography venue, cleaning up the photographic equipment, etc., you need to know some basic knowledge of photography, to be honest, there is not much development, if you like photography, you can learn some photography skills and knowledge through daily work or communication with the photographer, but the photographer will not teach you too many useful things, just like a hairdresser, How many small workers have you seen do part-time jobs? Of course, things are not absolute, you can learn a lot through your own efforts and observations, the key is to look at yourself, but the important point is that you need to like photography, if you don't have a hobby, it is recommended that you don't do it.

Photography is mainly to see the feeling, after the basic knowledge is mastered, you have to shoot more to find the feeling, the lens is not the most important, you can shoot well by your own head behind the camera. Good luck!

He said about the same, but what, he said that there is no future for photography assistants, I don't agree, every photographer has come from photography assistants, they have all honed, only photographers who have been photography assistants are qualified photographers!

What a photography assistant does is the foundation of being a photographer, since he has been promoted, these familiar opportunities will definitely be left to newcomers, I think that being an assistant must be cheerful, lively, and careful in dealing with people, so as to be a good assistant, as for.

Playing reflectors and pulling skirts are all very simple things, and the quality of the photographer's temper makes me even more speechless! Anger must be because of your mistake to upset people! Isn't that right?

It's good to keep up with a good temper, but if you did something wrong, he didn't blame you, don't you feel guilty?! Holding props, are they all so hard and tiring? OK done;

I firmly believe in Jack Ma's words: never give up!

<> "Do you want to be a camera assistant?"

Yes, but don't.

If you want to understand the photography industry, you have to do it; If you want to learn photography, don't do it.

Learn about the photography industry.

Summary Bow down to the game and truly participate in the photography industry, the ups and downs in it can only be obtained if you do it. After this experience, you will be given a crucial choice in your life: your career choice - whether to pursue a career in photography or not.

Learn about photography.

E-learning. Pros: It doesn't cost money, Disadvantages: It's time-consuming, not systematic.

Paid learning. Pros: Efficient, systematic, Cons: Spend money, course quality is uneven.

Be an assistant. Depending on your own initiative, whether the professional ability of the master is high enough, the master is not obliged to take the initiative to teach you, and secondly, it may not teach you all.

Conclusion We must consider the costs and benefits when we do things. The cost here includes not only money, but also your time and energy. If you care more about money, study online; If you care more about your time, pay to learn; If you don't care about anything, go for an assistant.

Final words. If you want to understand the photography industry, you have to do it; If you want to learn photography, don't do it. The biggest benefits of being an assistant are:

It allows you to see the real situation of the photography industry and the pace of work. Try it out and see if you can fit in, so you can consider your career choice – whether you want to pursue a career in photography. Whether or not you pursue a career in photography, it has nothing to do with your love for photography.

Like is not necessarily to have, and having is not necessarily cherishing. You have to keep your love of photography alive and let it stay with you in another way.

A photography assistant can only do it for half a year at most, and if you don't have a camera, you should buy a camera first.
