I just finished my first real day as a photographers assistant. The model was beautiful, the hair guy was really friendly, the make up guy and the clothing designer worked really hard,The stylist thanked me and shook my hand 4 times. The entourage was large and kind of fun to have around the set. The light my friends was super tasty, the last 2 years have been useful, and good. I have learned much and applied little...I have a reservoir of tricks yet to be revealed.
My opinions were treated with respect and when the day stretched on past the time we expected to wrap, I got payed double.
