Portrait and Wedding Photographer

I am looking for some oppertunity for Portrait and Wedding photography. Not sure Where to start from?

I live in bay area - CA and will be more than happy if anyone wants any kind of assistant.

Suggestions are welcome!

Thanks

you had best go about it in this sequence:

– get the appropriate gear
– learn how to use it
– get experience (shoot, shoot, shoot)
– latch on to a wedding photog as a second shooter and do at least a half dozen weddings that way
– advertise.

Good luck.

To do that, I highly recommend you contact ASMP's northern Calif. Chapter and completing an assistant application. Maybe you could do it in your spare time.

For information on our benefits and programs for photo assistants contact
assistants [at] asmpnorcal [dot] org. And please feel free to look around at the asmpnorcal.org website. :>))

Take it light.
