Assistant Photographer


I recently had the opportunity to assist a real photographer on a photo shoot. He is a friend of ours from church and he was taking photos of a jazz pianist for Desert Living Magazine. It was a very interesting experience which I hope to be able to have again. I basically gave my input on set up, posing, and lighting, held the reflector, and helped with various equipment. Ok...so I was more of a hindrance than a help with the equipment. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not very mechanically minded (that's why I have my assistant, Kris, handle all that kind of stuff). Here is the link to see the final product. It's on page 46.

I bet that's quite a process, taking a ton of pictures for the ONE final shot that goes into the magazine.
