Welcome to Photoassist.co.uk, the online community and database for assistant photographers, emerging photographers and students of photography. If you're an assistant, a student, or keen to get some professional photography experience, feel free to add your details to the database and make yourself visible in your area instantly.
If you're curious about how to get into photography as a career or are looking for advice regarding assisting, have a browse through the articles and information section of the site. Be sure to check out the forums, where there are details of current assisting and photography jobs, and where you can discuss any relevant issues.
We also aim to help bring together different areas of expertise involved in a photo shoot. If you're a photographer, a make-up artist, stylist, or anyone else looking to put together a team for a test shoot, make sure you head on over to the testing forum. Have a look at some of our assistants' work in the gallery. A few selected assistant galleries are also featured below.
We've recently started running 1-day introduction to assisting courses aimed at giving an overview of assisting for beginners and for existing assistants to brush up their skills. Our last one was on the 28th January 2008 - for further details of the next course see our courses page.
