Experience: No wedding experience.

Rates: Will "work" for food! However you cant call it "work" if you enjoy it and dont get paid!

Area: Houston

Currently visiting Houston as a tourist and enjoying the experience. Have a d1mk2/d10 with 28-70L, 100-400IS, have worked as a professional photographer, photoeditor and photographers assistant. I can take well composed sharp pictures and can follow orders. Would enjoy the experience of working at a wedding in America and gaining some experience to take home with me. Available most days...

I enjoy second shooting every once in awhile if I don't have my own weddings booked - I always feel there is something to be learned when shooting with others, plus it gives me a break from all of the rest of the stuff!

It is just a second photographer. For weddings, the second shooter can either be there to help lug equipment around and/or help the primary photographer get more shots or different shots. Typically, one photographer can't be everywhere at once.
