[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 29707, member: 1061"] After Labor Day (early September) I will be assisting a big time photographer. I don't want to mention specific names, but he is an interior design/architecture photographer who is regularly published in Better Homes and Garden magazine, among others. Networking pays off. Earlier this year, I joined the ASMP. With so many photography-related associations out there, it is unclear which one(s) are the most advantageous. High membership fees prohibit me from joining any others at this time, but my experience with ASMP has been extremely positive. One of the many benefits here is the ability to list yourself as an assistant, the means by which I was contacted by the aforementioned photographer. As it turns out, he is from out of state and will be flying in for this multi-day photo shoot. The going day rate for assisting isn't much, but I have high hopes that the experience of working with a real pro on location will far outweigh the paycheck. Not to mention, a good review from this guy will undoubtedly lead to referrals and repeat business. I can't wait. [/QUOTE]
