Hi I'm a professional photographer (also occasional college level photo instructor) looking for an assistant for this Thursday 12/11 and potentially for periodic work in the future.
For Thursday I'll be photographing a bunch of headshots a bit South of SF. It's an important job for me but fairly straightforward. I just need someone to help loading up in SF early morning, setting up just one portrait setup, breaking down, unloading back in SF. I know various freelance photo assistants who charge $500+ to work on complex commercial shoots but this is simple and budget conscious job for which I'd like to find someone entry level and I'm willing (and pretty good) training. I'm still waiting on a schedule but I expect it to be a pretty full day. Please tell me about your experience and what your expectations are as far as compensation; in addition to pay I can also offer credit toward use of equipment (as well as instruction and guidance if interested). Ideally you have a good understanding of photography and some experience with lighting (strobes, mostly Profoto). Resumes and links to LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, etc. are helpful. Friendly, positive attitude, good communication, easy to reach / responds to messages in a timely fashion.
I'll also need help in the future, budget vary from project to project and sometimes I might just need a quick hand with a portfolio shoot for someone who is new to the industry. Most projects are on weekdays and take up the whole day. Most of the time we'll start and end in the Inner Sunset in San Francisco.
Look forward to being in touch, I'll reach out to schedule chats over phone or FaceTime!
