Assistant/Second Shooter needed FRIDAY 9/23, Hockley (paid)

[LadyShutterBug]

My regular right-hand-gal is going to be out of town next weekend, so I need some help!

Coverage will begin mid-afternoon, ceremony at 7:15p. I will cover beginning at 3, need a second to help cover by at least 5:00 p.m. Wedding is at House Plantation, off 290 kind of near the outlet mall. It's a cute little old house with outdoor pavilion wedding venue.

I don't have final timeline yet, but assuming we'll be done around midnight, possibly a smidge later.

Breakdown:

• This is a paid gig, approximately $100-150 depending on your experience, and how long I need you to stay once the reception "main events" are done.
• You use my equipment (do not bring any of your own equipment), I retain copyright, you do not keep/edit any images. I shoot Nikon, but I can't imagine a Canon shooter would have any trouble adapting.
• You will mainly be covering second angles as needed, helping schlep equipment, holding flashes, etc.
• You will get to eat ; )
• You need to be a calm, non-freaker-outer type person.
• Be available THIS Saturday morning for a quick get-to-know-me at my Montrose/Richmond office or Friendswood office.

Please e-mail assist@monkey-tree.com and tell me a little about you. Use "9-23-11" in the subject line. Thanks : )

I'm only a few miles away and open Friday, but I'm afraid for an experienced shooter it's a really hard sell for 7 hours and $100-150, and no rights to the photos.

No problem-- I don't want to start a debate on whether it's fair or a hard sell (I have several responses already). If you don't want the job, don't respond.

This isn't a "hey, come build your portfolio!" opportunity. I just need an assistant for the evening. I've shot under similar circumstances for colleagues in need, and it wasn't an issue for me.
