2nd Shooter / Assistant - Toronto / GTA

[Brhum]

Hello All,

Yet another 2nd shooter or assistant message.

I'm looking to help out other photographers in the GTA region for weddings and other events. I have various bits of equipment - 5D, 30D, 70-200 f2.8, 10-22, 35, 50, 105, 580EX, some strobes / remote triggers etc. Have a car, clean abstract, willing to graft, listen and learn.

You can see samples of my work here : www.bbimagery.com and here : http://wellexposed.com/v/Brhum/

You can contact me via PM if you're interested.
Cheers

Brhum

OK, no takers - not a problem, but if any of the wedding photographers out there could tell me what they are looking for in a second shooter, perhaps I can prepare myself better to be able to assist? Is there something I can demonstrate more on my web site (www.bbimagery.com) that would encourage you to consider me for a second shooter opportunity? Let me know what you need and I can develop my expertise to be better positioned next time round.

For anyone else visiting this thread, the offer still stands, I'll try other forums and classifieds but essentially I just want to be able to help out with as many weddings as possible so that I can learn the trade from a professional or seasoned photographer.

Have you met with local photographers? That would be the best way to start. Do you have a local photo group (s) that you can join? Personally I would not hire a second shooter just based on his website, I"d want to meet him in person.

Thanks Svetlana, I know a few wedding photographers but most have assistants / second shooters already. However I think you're spot on, I'll get myself out there a bit more and hope that I can forge some good working relationships.

Thanks for that,

Brhum
