Yes
I'm looking for some assisting work in Nottingham, ideally wedding photography as i can do it without it interfereing with my 9-5. (i have portrait expereince, amongst other things)

Not looking for much in terms of pay, just expenses and a bit of pocket money really. Its more about building up a portfoliio and some more experience.

Just wondering if anyone knew whee i could start my search? is there a website somewhere that i can start looking on?
 
I would make a start with your local yellow pages and start ringing round.

I would not tell them that you are looking for any pay to begin with .... Just be happy that you are learning the ropes.
 
...also try and find somebody slightly away from the patch you are considering setting up in... they are not likely to be keen on taking somebody on, teaching them the ropes only to have them set up in competition!
 
Hello James,

I'm a bit surprised to see you going down the assist route now. You've done more than enough shooting to be able to handle just about any task now.

If you want to get a better idea of wedding photography before taking the plunge yourself, you could always just hang around a church and watch a few different people working.
 
hello dazzajl, didn't realise you were on here! Its Jetblack from the honda forums!

I hear what your saying, i just feel that as i've been out of it for over a year it would be nice to get back into it by doing a bit of on the side work- i have neither the finances nor the confidence to take the plune and go full time again just yet.

I know, that's why I was talking as if I knew who you were. ;) :lol:

I do see what you're saying but I still think you'll need far less hand holding than you think to get going again.
