thank you please

I'm looking for an assistant (available on the 1st of June) to help shoot a hair photography campaign for an award winning young stylist. The pictures will be used as promotional material for his salon and as a competition entry at the UK Hairdressing Awards. It will be a full day's shoot incorporating an avant-garde session in the morning and a more commercial 'street' session in the afternoon. It will be a very busy, long and hectic day with lots of hairdressers, stylists, models and all sorts running around the place. I'm interested in someone who is willing to get stuck in and help out with the boring bits, rather than someone who will try to take over the shoot with their own creative vision! Basically helping me with the lights, keeping the studio clean & tidy, helping the stylists/models, making tea, maybe popping to the shops to get bits & pieces if anything goes drastically wrong. Preferably I'd like someone with some experience of using studio lighting, taking meter readings... that sort of thing.

The position will be good professional practice as you will be an integral part of a commercial shoot even if you wont be taking any pictures yourself. It may even be an opportunity to make a few contacts. And of course, if it goes well there may always be the chance for future work on other projects.

If you think you might be interested and have a portfolio of work (or a few relevant images) please email me at eleanorjane.parsons@hotmail.co.uk by Tuesday morning. You MUST be available on Wednesday or Thursday to come to the studio for a chat.
