Photography Assistant

- Assist professional photographers at weddings, corporate events, and portrait sessions across DFW - Carry and set up lighting equipment, reflectors, backdrops, and camera gear - Hold reflectors and diffusers during outdoor shoots - Second-shoot events (take supplementary photos from different angles) - Help with basic post-production: culling images, organizing files, light Lightroom edits

- Basic understanding of photography (you don't need to be a pro, but know what an f-stop is) - Own a camera capable of shooting in manual mode (even an entry-level DSLR or mirrorless works) - Reliable transportation to event venues across DFW (weddings are often in Weatherford, McKinney, Denton) - Physical ability to carry equipment and stand for 8+ hours at events - Professional appearance and ability to blend in at formal events

- $20-$30/hr for assisting, $50-$75/hr for second-shooting once you build trust - Build your portfolio while getting paid - Networking with DFW wedding and event vendors - Flexible scheduling — most events are weekends with occasional weekday corporate work - Many assistants transition to full-time photography within 1-2 years
