Hello friends,

This is another new workshop in the Night Class series.

Brief.
I've come up with this workshop to empower aspiring photographers who would like to gain knowledge through photography assistance. If you're someone who'd like to expand your knowledge by being a photography assistant to another photographer, and learning from that experience, this workshop is for you.

Why sometimes, offering yourself for free assistance won't get you the job?
A lot of times, I've came across numerous offers from other individuals who would like to "tag-along" and be my photography assistant. Some of them even offered their service for free.

Let me tell you that it's not all about the money. Even if your service as an assistant free, if you don't have basic experience in photography assistance, chances are you won't be called in for the job.

Why?

1. Being an assistant is not just simply carrying bags of gear. It's about knowing how to pack safely, and how to setup and wrap-up quickly and safely too.
2. You need to know what to look out for when you're assisting.
3. Do you know how to be pro-active and be able to anticipate the photographer's needs?
4. Photographers don't have the time to teach you how to do these things on set. They'll be wasting their time if they have to teach you during the shoot.
5. Photographers are looking for assistants that are quick, independent, reliable, good discipline and ethics. Are you any one of these and what does it take to be a dependable assistant? 

Summary.
Upon completion of this workshop, you will have the confidence to assist another photographer which will give you opportunity to gain knowledge through observation from the assignment that you will be assisting. Other photographers will also be more confident in hiring you. We will also be able to be your contact reference to the photography assistant work you're applying.

Small Class.

1. To ensure focused attention, I can only take 15 persons for this night class. You'll be tested, therefore we need to allocate time for this test.
2. You will be tested individually to ensure that you understand what you've learned in this workshop.
