you want to make Funny Photo Effects? If you do, this app will your good assistant! Select a photo from Album or take a photograph
I’d encourage new assistants to really work at networking with other assistants and getting to know producers and production companies, as you’ve pointed out. If you want to work with a good crew and the right photographers, this is the company you need to keep. Usually, photographers who get the big ad campaigns and higher-end jobs are smart and delegate the logistics and certain production aspects to people who are better positioned to take care of every detail. This is especially important as you are starting out, because these types of shooters are probably not going to sit down with you and look at your portfolio. Know the right people, know some gear
I’d add a few things.
A spectator at an event but there to support it. Be couscous of the flow of the shoot and try to anticipate the shooter’s needs before he/she does 2. 2. NEVER make creative suggestions to the client, even if asked, always defer to the photographer.
3. NEVER, solicit the client for work (Yes, it has happened on my set)
4. Don’t discuss financial arrangements with the client (or anyone else) that’s between you and the photographer.
5. Be friendly & nice
6. It’s OK to chat, just keep it social and brief.
7. Be a self-starter, don’t sit around during idle times, look for tasks that need to be done..and do them!
