Hey why was my photo deleted from the
assistants database?
Probably because you couldn't follow
directions and uploaded an image that
was: not a .JPG, was larger than 72 DPI,
did not clearly display your face, was
art work and not an image of your pretty
face, had the letters "ME" as a file
name. Sorry if your to lazy to read
directions than you probably shouldn't
be on set either.
Hey why was my resume deleted from the
assistants database?
Probably because you couldn't follow
directions and uploaded a resumes as a
PDF file or: You got so creative with
your resume that it was over 5 megs in
size. Your resume file was actually some
other type of self promotion.
Why are the Assistant's email address's
no longer visible?
That is because other web sites and some
photo companies have been data mining
the site for emails to promote their
products and services to you directly.

How do I become recommended by this
site?
Any one that has this designation next
to there name has been recommended by a
respected industry professional and or
by one of the founding members of this
site. The assistants that are currently
recommended by us have a level of
knowledge and experience that is equal
to or surpasses that of most commercial
photographers these days. The assistant
should be extremely aware and be able to
handle all aspects of a photo shoot
including pre & post production.
As an example; should the need ever
arise, any one of the assistants
recommended by the site could in an
emergency situation take over shooting
for a photographer and have the rest of
the job continue to look like the
original photographer had shot it.
"How do I know if I can be recommended?"
"You should be able to produce and shoot
the job if the photographer drops dead."
This my seem a bit extreme of an
example; but in reality this type of
assistant is what we all need to strive
for.
Photographers, please feel free to
recommend an assistant to us via E-Mail.
