Answer
Hi, I’m Scott Kivowitz from ScottWyden.com. How can I help?
The number one skill Scott looks for in a photography assistant is a strong desire to learn everything possible about photography. Curiosity and eagerness to grow are key.
He also values assistants who:
- Are willing to experiment and take creative risks
- Have a basic understanding of camera gear, technique, and theory
- Can potentially teach him something along the way
- Are professional around clients, speaking when appropriate, not to dominate the session
Want help turning this into a checklist to prep for an assisting job?
