For over 18 years, I&#8217;ve been shooting for companies, industry, and institutions \u2013 from local SMEs to international corporations. My work is demanding, varied, and often on the move. For my productions, I occasionally look for a reliable assistant who gets things done, thinks along \u2013 and wants to learn in the process.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">What to expect<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>As a photo assistant, you&#8217;ll accompany me on location shoots at client sites. We work across corporate, industrial, and portrait photography \u2013 mostly in the Zurich area, occasionally throughout Switzerland. Often it&#8217;s portraits or people at work, but industrial locations and client products are part of the mix too. Jobs vary in length \u2013 sometimes half a day, sometimes a full day. Many are in the Zurich region, but longer trips, which we make together, are part of it as well.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, that means: setting up and breaking down equipment, building and adjusting lighting, preparing camera and laptop for tethering, thinking ahead and stepping in wherever needed. No glamour \u2013 but a genuine look into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philippewiget.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">professional photo productions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">What you should bring<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>You&#8217;re comfortable with digital DSLR or mirrorless cameras and know how tethering works. You&#8217;ve already worked with Capture One or Lightroom. Flash \u2013 whether studio strobe or speedlight \u2013 isn&#8217;t new to you.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to be a perfectionist. But reliable, punctual, and attentive \u2013 yes. A good eye and a genuine interest in photography matter more than a flawless CV.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">What you get from working with me<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>You won&#8217;t just be a pair of hands. I explain what I&#8217;m doing and why \u2013 you watch, ask questions, learn. Over time, you&#8217;ll gain insight into real productions for demanding clients and an understanding of how professional photography actually works in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Pay is fair, based on effort and time. The jobs are irregular \u2013 sometimes one shoot a month, sometimes none. But I&#8217;m not looking for a one-time thing. If we click personally and professionally, I look forward to a long-term, recurring collaboration.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Who you might be<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Maybe you&#8217;re studying photography or in the middle of your training.
