I suggest going on Craigslist and look and see if there are any photographers needing assistants!. If not put up a post stating that you are willing to be an assistant!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Apply for photography assistant jobs!.

But don't expect to be paid much (if at all)!. All of my assistants don't make a dime!.!.!. they are interns!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
