Revised and expanded to include information on multimedia and Internet developments in the field, the book offers technical tips on camera equipment, lighting, surface preparation, studio and location shooting, CD-ROM development, and selling stock photos online - all from the perspective of what the assistant needs to know. Seven top photographers give candid interviews in which they tell what skills and personal attributes they want in an assistant, how they choose assistants, what they pay, the biggest mistake an assistant ever made, when an assistant saved the day, and how well their assistants succeeded in making the transition to becoming professional photographers.
