Evening =)
I’ve been floating around for a while but before I become a full on lurker I better introduce myself.
I’m Elaine, I’ve recently started working as a photographers assistant in Dublin and am loooving it.
I’ve noticed a kind of gap in information on-line for aspiring photo assistants so I’m creating a blogspace on my personal experience including advice and tips for hitting the ground running when you first enter the studio.I really hope it helps and would appreciate any kind of feedback.

I’ve never been a photographers assistant. Nor have I ever been on a pro shoot. However, I do have a few tips.
For anyone that’s working as an assistant, it can be a good place to pick up scraps of work. Particularly if you are working for the same person for a decent period of time, giving them an opportunity to see all your talents and personality. If you are lucky, they may have some work that they are willing to pass on when they are very busy.If you have anything to do with power on a photoshoot, find out where the fuseboxes/tripswitches are, and learn how to wire a plug. Understanding a bit about how many lights you can use off a single 13amp supply safely (total of around 3500 watts. just add all the wattages together). This will vary if you are using dimmer packs and industrial power supplies
Can’t agree more with the “If you don’t know something, Ask…..” adage.
Keep up the good work
Sean
